NBA Rumors: The 3 Teams Kevin Durant Could End Up With Before the Trade Deadline

This Thursday, February 6th, the NBA Trade Deadline will take place, and there is a frenzy of NBA rumors circulating after Luka Doncic's trade to the Los Angeles Lakers. One of the players currently at the center of attention is Kevin Durant, who could be leaving the Phoenix Suns. Three teams have been mentioned by the American press: Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, and Dallas Mavericks. Let's take a look at what is being said about each of these three options:

1. Houston Rockets

The Texan team is having a great season in the West and has been strongly linked with acquiring KD. However, according to Marc Stein, they may not be willing to part with young talent. It seems that despite Jalen Green's inconsistency, they may not trade him in an attempt to contend for the title with Kevin Durant in the short term. They have assets to negotiate with (multiple picks) and several young players with potential (Sengun, Thompson, Green, Jabari, Sheppard...). It appears they might not pursue this option after all.

2. Golden State Warriors

The Warriors have been the most talked about team in recent hours for KD to reunite with Stephen Curry. According to The Athletic, they would ask for Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green in return, among other things. With Beal unwilling to leave and the Suns interested in Jimmy Butler, this could end up in a three-way deal, although frankly, it all seems quite unlikely. 

3. Dallas Mavericks

The other interested team is the Dallas Mavericks. Nico Harrison seems eager to shake things up after kicking out Luka Doncic, dreaming of forming a Big Three with Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving. The package that the Suns would receive has not been leaked, but names like Lively or Washington would likely be part of the deal for this to be possible.
