The NBA rumor factory is still swirling Kevin Durant, Donovan Mitchell, Kyrie Irving When Russell Westbrook Probably all available. The crossover staff will predict where each player will be at the beginning of next season.
Where will Kevin Durant play when the season begins?
Chris Herring: Toronto. I still feel that the Raptors have the most promising roster of young and affordable players that Brooklyn wants to undertake. (Jaylen Brown is great, but is Nets responsible for paying more than $ 40 million a year for his next transaction two years later?) Getting angry at Toronto’s idea of abandoning Scottie Barnes It’s a question of whether it can be done.
Robin Landberg: Boston. I’m most likely that Kevin Durant (and Kyrie Irving) is actually staying in Nets, as there is a clear lack of sufficient offers and they remain in his deal for years. We have reached the point where we believe it is a high result. However, the Celtics offer reported based on Jaylen Brown is the most realistic I’ve seen, so if it’s not Brooklyn, I would say Boston as of today.
Rohan Nadkarni: Memphis. Durant will be a Grizzlies because it will be the most enjoyable option. KD could supercharge an up-and-coming team involved in an up-and-coming rivalry with its former running mate, the Warriors. And in Memphis, in addition to picks, there are interesting works (Dillon Brooks, Desmond Bane) that can be sent back to Brooklyn. Is this likely? Probably not. However, it is difficult to find a team that makes sense for Durant, and perhaps the most obvious choice (Phoenix) is off the table due to Deandre Ayton’s signature. The longer this is, the harder it is to build a meaningful Durant transaction.
Jeremy Wu: Brooklyn. I’m not sure Nets will lower their asking price or someone else will still meet it. I was able to see it dragged into the season without changing the situation.
Where will Donovan Mitchell play when the season begins?

herring: New York is rich in the first draft topics of the future and has enough young talent to make transactions most seamlessly. Miami still looks like another logical landing point, but Heat is reportedly needing to find another club to help them sweeten their offer.
Lundberg: New York. When it comes to Donovan Mitchell, stick with Knicks. I’ve seen New York used as leverage in the negotiations before, but because Knicks has the assets to make strong proposals and Mitchell’s interests seem to be interrelated. This time it looks more realistic.
Nadkarni: New York. Mitchell plays for Knicks. New York has both the draft capital and thirst needed to make this kind of move. If Utah wants to get the tank right this season, I don’t think the situation will be prolonged. Knicks can also send back a young talent that is sufficiently intriguing, without the need to send RJ Barrett, where jazz wouldn’t need to be extended anyway. This makes too much sense for both sides.
Wu: New York. In terms of pure entertainment value, it’s a shame if that isn’t done at this point. Will it actually change the fate of Knicks into the playoffs? do not know.

Where will Kyrie Irving play when the season begins?
herring: Los Angeles. The Lakers are naturally desperate to upgrade their point guard situation after the Russell Westbrook experiment is gone. Los Angeles doesn’t have much in terms of wealth — they dealt with most of what it takes to get Westbrook and earlier Anthony Davis — but the Lakers maximize the rest of Lebron’s windows If you’re serious about it, they’ll find a way to land Killy and get out of Westbrook’s deal.
Lundberg: Brooklyn. For me, it’s Kylie’s net, especially as long as KD stays in BK. But given that Nets isn’t obsessed with Irving based on contract negotiations, Kylie will probably not be too late if Durant is dealt with. In that case, the Lakers look like the only team with a keen interest, so I need to devote myself to the Lakers.
Nadkarni: Brooklyn. I haven’t seen Brooklyn undertake one Lakerspick deal in Russell Westbrook … and I haven’t seen Los Angeles giving up the first two for Irving in the final year of his deal ( Or Lebron wants to extend him when he’s also a free agent (next summer). I also don’t know at this point other teams in the league who are willing to undertake Irving and subsequent dramas. The Lakers also seem to have other options, such as trying to move for Buddy Hield. Irving starts the season on the Nets roster, but I think he’s sitting at home. He will be impressed when the season begins.
Wu: Brooklyn. But is he really playing? Do you know. I also enjoyed working at his home in Brooklyn.
Where will Russell Westbrook play when the season begins?

herring: I don’t know at all. At the moment, this is a question that is too complicated. I think he will end up elsewhere, but I don’t know where he is. Anyone who exchanges with him may not be interested in keeping him. For example, Indiana is rumored to say that someone like Tyrese Haliburton (one of the most talented young floor generals in the sport) has the reduced liability seen when playing in Westbrook. In contrast, increasing responsibility will almost certainly benefit.
Lundberg: Los Angeles. Russ is the Lakers until the other pieces move. If Domino begins to fall, it is difficult to predict his final destination, as it is not even known if Brooklyn wants him. Then a third team like San Antonio (mentioned) may be happy to eat his deal and see what production he will bring in the new situation (ie). , If he does not move again by other means).
Nadkarni: Free agent. I think Russell Westbrook will be a free agent at the start of the season. If the Lakers manage to deal with him, it is expected that the team that won the Russ will soon buy him. And in that scenario, no one is in a hurry to sign Westbrook right away. Brody will probably need to rehabilitate the images around the league before getting caught anywhere. And if he were bought, he wouldn’t want to sign a non-competitor team cheaply. And which candidate wants him? For nostalgic reasons, I really want to see Westbrook return to Oklahoma City in the role of a bench. However, it may take some time to get there.
Wu: Los Angeles. His contracts and diminishing play make him … quite difficult to trade. This will probably be achieved if the Lakers try to pony their draft topic as a make-up weight to drop their salary. How desperate are they? understand.
