Scout: Durant trades most teams to chase him just to sell jerseys. 35+ veterans are not worth betting on the future

One NBA scout said that the vast majority of teams trying to get Durant through trades are just to sell their jerseys.

The scout said: "We have dealt with Durant before and know his character. This situation will happen again. He is really a good person and a great teammate. Many people don't realize this. But he always has a way out, and in his eyes, he always looks at the mountain and looks high."

"But at this stage, he is already 36 or 37 years old, and I can't see any practical benefits of giving too much for him. He can no longer lead any team to the championship. I really think he might be traded to somewhere he doesn't want to go. "

" A team can loan him for a short period of time to drive jersey sales for a year. This is not a bad idea, but don't mortgage the future for it. Now any player over 35 is not worth doing this, and Durant is now in this group." There have been reports that Durant's next home includes the Heat, Spurs and Rockets, but the Suns are not excited about their offer. Judging from the current situation, the Raptors may be the team that can provide the best offer for the Suns at the moment. Famous reporter Jake Fischer once reported that the Raptors are willing to trade Barrett, Quickley and Pearl to upgrade their lineup, provided that the deal can be brought back Durant.

According to reporter Kirk Goldsberry, during the trade negotiations around Durant, the Suns asked the Spurs for the second pick and/or Rookie of the Year Castle.
