Propose the Clippers to win Durant for five and assist Leonard Harden

The Phoenix Suns are watching the market and they want to trade Kevin Durant to maximize their own interests. However, Kevin Durant is already 36 years old and his transaction value is no longer as good as before. However, there are still many teams who want to get Kevin Durant through trades to improve their competitiveness.

Like the Los Angeles Clippers, it is one of Kevin Durant's next teams. The Phoenix Suns missed the playoffs, and the Clippers were not much better, and they stopped in the first round of the playoffs. Therefore, the author of the US media "Fadeaway World" proposes that the Los Angeles Clippers can try 5 for 1 during the offseason.

The Clippers can build a Big Three lineup by taking Kevin Durant, allowing Kevin Durant to assist younger Leonard and James Harden. After all, Kevin Durant scored 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists in the 2024-25 season, and still has good competitiveness.

Phoenix Suns won: Norman Powell, Derek Jones Jr., Bogdan Bogdanovic, 2026 second round draft pick, 2031 first round draft pick

Los Angeles Clippers won: Kevin Durant

For the Los Angeles Clippers, winning Kevin Durant can make it easier for Leonard and James Harden on both offense and defense. Even if Kevin Durant turns 37 next season, his competitiveness is still not to be despised by the outside world. LeBron James and Stephen Curry's performance this season is the best proof.

Moreover, Kevin Durant has a great height and arm-show, and he has excellent outside shooting ability, and at his age, he can serve as the team's main pitcher rather than the core scorer on the offensive end. Leonard and James Harden's singles and pass ability can all help Kevin Durant relieve some of the pressure on the offensive end.

However, if you get Kevin Durant, there are some problems. That is, Kevin Durant's annual salary next season will be as high as $55 million. For the Clippers, it may lock in their reinforcements in other positions, which is a problem that the Clippers are difficult to accept.

However, the chips given by the Clippers are not outstanding, Derek Jones Jr., a very reliable rotation player Bogdan Bogdanovic and stable scorer Norman Powell. Norman Powell averaged 21.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists this season. He is second only to Leonard and James Harden on the team's offensive end.

For the Phoenix Suns, sending Kevin Durant away and winning three players and two future first-round picks is a sure-fire deal. However, this deal may make it difficult for the Clippers to become one of the hottest teams in the playoffs again.
