Kevin Durant will not be joining the Boston Celtics or any other club anytime soon. The former MVP and his Brooklyn Nets announced the two parties have agreed to move forward, and Durant will no longer pursue a trade away from the team. This ends weeks of speculation, with the Celtics firmly in the mix alongside each new rumor or report.
According to the Athletic’s Shams Charania, Boston had floated a package of Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and a few first-round picks in early July, though subsequent reporting stated these talks never made serious progress. Still, Boston remained in the broader conversation despite limited momentum, as did clubs like the Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat.
