Durant is expected to be traded next week! Perkins ranks five next players, Green questioning KD s cost-effectiveness

On June 13, famous reporter Shams talked about Durant's deal with former NBA players Perkins and Danny Green on the show. Shams said Durant's deal did make progress, with Suns Gambadoro reporting that Durant is expected to be traded by the Suns next week and negotiations may be completed before the finals. Perkins listed what he believes is the top five next players, while Danny Green questioned the cost-effectiveness of KD's current transactions.

Shams said on the show: "KD's deal has indeed progressed, and some teams hope to reach an agreement as soon as possible. We are waiting to see: Will there be any action before the draft? Or will it be delayed until June 26 and 27 approach the draft? But the Suns are currently paying the most attention to those five teams (Spurs, Rockets, Knicks, Heat, Timberwolves), and there are also some wild card suitors. The key is: KD's contract is about to expire, so whether it depends on him accepting a long contract? Or will there be a team that will gamble and get him to the finals first? I have been saying over the past few months that which team thinks they are only one KD away from winning the championship. This is the key. He is the largest "domino" in the free market, which may be settled before the draft, or it may continue until later. Don't forget that KD is 37 years old this September, but look at his data - last season's average of 26.6 points. For players over 36, this data is comparable to James' legendary season, which is very amazing."

Shams also said: "The Suns are looking for the next one that "three parties are satisfied with" with the KD team. Not only do they look at the chips, but also the wishes of KD. For example, the Heat, does the Eastern Conference think that 'KD can make them break out of the Eastern Conference'? This is also a recent rumor. But I have to remind you that if I were the team manager, I would not bet on the future for KD. He is a historical scorer, but in the past few years he has not become a person who 'changed the fate of the team'. "

Danny Green also questioned Durant's trading cost-effectiveness. "KD is 37 years old, can he hold on? But he is still the 'killer' and 'terminator' - the Rockets need him, the Spurs lack experience, and the Knicks lack the puzzle for the championship. But the problem is that he has to pay too many chips to trade, such as the Knicks may have to send Anunobi, Hart or Mitchell Robinson away, and the Timberwolves have to hollow out the bench. KD's offense has no solution, but can he improve the team's defense? History has proved that from the Nets to the Suns, his 'paper-strong team' has not won the championship."

Durant's former teammate Perkins listed his top five KD players in his mind and gave an analysis, as follows:

No. 5: San Antonio Spurs

Some people may be surprised, but the Spurs are educated, Wenban Yama, Fox, Castle, and the lineup is not lacking in talent. KD can bring the team into the playoffs and even compete for the championship when he goes - although Wenban is young, he has a mature mentality and he wants to win now. The Spurs have young cores and good coaches, so they rank fifth.

No. 4: Houston Rockets

They have a lot of high-quality assets, and they can retain newcomers such as Amen Thompson after the transaction. In addition, coach Uduka will strictly require KD and the entire team. The Rockets were second in the Western Conference last season, playing tiebreak with the Warriors and are rising.

No. 3: Minnesota Timberwolves

Edwards said KD is his idol, and the two have a linkage in the Olympics. In the playoffs, Edwards needs a helper to share the pressure, especially when playing in the Western Conference Finals, KD can be the "No. 2 scorer" and open up space for Edwards.

No. 2: Detroit Pistons

Why not? Cunningham is excellent, the Pistons have assets, and their head coach can build culture. The East will open up next season, and the combination of KD+Cunningham is worth looking forward to.

No. 1: New York Knicks

They just scored into the Eastern Conference Finals, and the combination of KD+Brunson is so terrible! Brunson is one of the best players in the East, and with KD, New York basketball is about to become popular again!
