Rockets-Suns Kevin Durant deal could expand to historic 7-team trade
If the Kevin Durant trade to the Rockets wasn’t already big enough, it sounds like this could end up being a record-breaking move.
Kevin Durant getting traded to the Houston Rockets was already big news, but it sounds like it could be getting even bigger. According to a new report from The Athletic, this could end up being a record-breaking trade. The Rockets and Suns are looking into expanding the trade to include seven total teams. The new teams mentioned are the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves.
“League sources tell The Athletic that the Rockets and Suns are working on expanding the Kevin Durant trade into a deal that would involve a league-record seven teams,” the report states. “Other teams involved in negotiations at the moment include the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves, league sources say.”
While there is still some stuff to finalize here, it sounds like much of this expanded Kevin Durant trade has already gone down.
“At least in the iterations of the deal discussed so far, most of the recognizable names are from trades that have already been agreed to and reported but not yet finalized,” the report continued.
