NBA Rumors: The 3 Teams Kevin Durant Could End Up With

Today it has been almost officially confirmed (Charania has leaked it) that Kevin Durant will be traded by the Phoenix Suns this coming summer. Woj's replacement at ESPN ensures in their report that they will send him to a team with a chance to win the championship, which is surprising considering that the Suns won't just hand him over to the first passerby after dismantling a team that had made it to the NBA Finals.

So, it is logical that NBA rumors have begun to swirl about where KD might end up. And no, let's make it clear from the start, he won't be going to the Los Angeles Lakers; they won't create a Big Three without any physical strength, with Luka Doncic, LeBron James at 41, and Durant at 37. It doesn't sound like a fit for the Angels, but it does for three other teams with championship aspirations:

1. BOSTON CELTICS

Yes, the Boston Celtics, but with one condition: that they fail in the playoffs this year. Coming off their dominant championship win, they have shown some doubts in the regular season compared to last year's performance. If they fall short earlier than expected in the postseason, questions could arise about a team built to win. Could Jaylen Brown potentially leave? It may sound crazy today, but after what happened with Luka, we know that anything is possible in the NBA.

2. DALLAS MAVERICKS

If there's anyone who might keep making crazy moves, it's good old Nico Harrison. Doncic's departure leaves them with a well-built team but less talent. If Anthony Davis struggles to play and keeps getting injured, they might have doubts in the summer, and Nico knows the lineup he has crafted is meant to win now or never. Getting talent back with KD could be an option, considering the many secondary assets they have to play with.

3. NEW YORK KNICKS

Another team on the edge that might need changes in the summer if things don't go well in the playoffs. They've moved mountains to create a winning team, but for now, they're struggling to compete against the Celtics and Cavs, their main rivals in the East. Having a natural winner like Durant could give them a better chance at winning.
