‘No real discussions’ between Boston Celts and Brooklyn Nets on Kevin Durant, says new report

Trade rumors concerning the Celtics and Nets may be quite overblown, according to a new report.

In a recent preseason primer, the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach threw plenty of cold water on recent trade rumors surrounding the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets. According to a new report, Brooklyn and Boston are not anywhere close to nearing a deal that would land superstar Kevin Durant in green. This comes following weeks of speculation following multiple, sometimes conflicting reports from national media.

Himmelsbach stated, “there have not even been any real discussions of substance” between the two teams. Previous reporting from other sources suggested Boston and Brooklyn had engaged on some level, though the nature of those talks was unclear.

According to Himmelsbach, however, “there have not even been any real discussions of substance” between the organizations.
