Where did Durant go suddenly change? The Rockets and Spurs gave too low chips, and Zhu Meng Green laughed

Although Durant was determined to leave the Suns, the development of things does not seem to be optimistic. Although many teams have shown some interest in KD, and Durant himself even said that he hopes to go to the Spurs or the Rockets most, the problem now is: the Rockets and Spurs give too low chips. It seems that where Durant wants to go and where he can go are two completely different concepts. I believe that after seeing such news, I can wake up laughing in my dream.

The Suns received Durant on the eve of the 2023 trading deadline, and they are expected to receive so much reward from sending the legendary star away this time. That year, the Suns sent out Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Crowder and four first-round picks in exchange for Durant and TJ Warren. But now the Suns are going to send Durant away, but no team is willing to pay high bargaining chips for this. Famous reporter Stein reported that all those who have contacted the Suns know that their situation is critical, and the Rockets and Spurs have no intention of producing a large amount of assets. One important reason is: Durant's age (then he turned 37 in September) and his willingness to start over with other teams. After all, Durant, after leaving the Warriors, is known as an expert in demolition, which is not a good title.

The Suns hope to see Durant away before the draft begins, and now this idea is a bit like daydreaming. I don't object to delaying retirement, but unexpectedly, it's so difficult for Durant to find a job when he was 37 years old. Originally, the Warriors were interested in introducing Durant this spring, but Green apologized for this, but was rejected by KD. Now that Durant has depreciated so much in the trading market, Green's big teeth are about to laugh.
