The disconnect between Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets continues with seemingly no end in sight. The former MVP’s trade request has gone unfulfilled, and Durant may even skip out on training camp if he’s not moved before NBA action resumes. According to the latest reporting from the Athletic’s Shams Charania, Durant has plenty of suitors, though Brooklyn’s asking price remains understandably high.
One new team to enter the fray could have the assets to pull something off. Charania reported the Memphis Grizzlies have connected with the Nets on a potential move to add Durant alongside Ja Morant and an exciting young core down in Bluff City. Memphis has five future first-round picks at its disposal, as well as a litany of exciting young players like Desmond Bane, Ziaire Williams, Brandon Clarke, and Jaren Jackson Jr.
