Big news! US media reveals the potential trading plan of the Clippers Suns, Durant may join forces with Leonard Harden to strive for the championship

With the fierce battle in the NBA playoffs, the teams that ended the season early have begun to plan the offseason operation. According to the latest news from the well-known sports media Fadeaway World, the Clippers are planning a league-shaking trading plan, targeting the Suns' superstar Kevin Durant.

According to the transaction simulation plan:

The Clippers will send out: Norman Powell, Derek Jones Jr., Boyan Bogdanovic

plus the 2026 second round pick and 2031 first round pick and 2031 first round pick and exchange for the Suns' Durant

If the deal comes true, the Clippers will form a daunting "Big Three" combination: Durant + Harden + Leonard. This lineup is top-notch on paper, and is complemented by existing high-quality role players, and will surely become a strong contender for the championship.

Trading difficulties analysis:

chip value is not equal: The Suns expect to obtain potential new stars + multiple first-round picks, while the Clippers' quotation only includes 1 first-round

Health hazards: Durant (36 years old) and Leonard (33 years old) have frequent injuries in recent years

Salary matching: The Clippers need to process multiple contracts to match Durant's maximum salary

Basketball analyst Mark Stein pointed out: "Although this idea is very attractive, the actual operation is extremely difficult. The Suns management will not let Durant go easily unless he receives an irrefutable offer. "

It is worth noting that Durant can still contribute 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game this season, maintaining a 50.4% shooting percentage. Such performance proves that he is still the league's top scorer, which also makes any deal negotiations about him extremely complicated.

Industry insiders generally believe that if the Clippers want to truly get Durant, they may need to pull into a third-party team to provide more high-quality young players or draft picks. The trading market this summer is destined to not be calm.
