Colin Cowherd plays the ‘Kevin Durant Trade Game’

Kevin Durant requested a commerce from the Brooklyn Nets final week — and ever since, the commerce situations have been chaotic.

As you’d guess, the asking value for the 12-time All-Star is steep, particularly contemplating what the Utah Jazz obtained for Rudy Gobert from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

On Friday’s “The Herd,” Colin Cowherd laid out a gaggle of gamers that he would not commerce for Durant (NO SHOT) and some others that he’d must assume deeply about earlier than making a deal (SLEEP ON IT).

Who would Colin Cowherd commerce for Kevin Durant?

The Brooklyn Nets wish to commerce Kevin Durant (by way of request). Nonetheless, in response to Brian Windhorst, the Nets haven’t obtained the ‘bidding warfare’ they anticipated. Colin Cowherd evaluates what this says about KD.

Take a look at Cowherd’s record under: 

NO SHOT

Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves

Colin’s ideas: “This child hasn’t gotten into his prime. When he does in two years, he’ll have 10 years minimal of prime. He does not value me something proper now and simply averaged 25 factors in a playoff collection.”

Ja Morant, Memphis Grizzlies

Colin’s ideas: “He is a extra thrilling participant, so he is extra marketable [than Durant]. He is completely dedicated to Memphis. The town is in love with him. He simply averaged 27 factors per recreation, and he is an ascending shooter.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks

Colin’s ideas: “No manner. He is a greater defensive participant, he generally is a extra dominating offensive participant, and he’s utterly dedicated. Milwaukee can be outraged in case you moved Giannis for Kevin Durant. Individuals can be livid in case you made that transfer.”  

Luka Dončić, Dallas Mavericks

Colin’s ideas: “Luka goes to common 28 factors per recreation or extra for 12 straight years. He is obtained an enormous, thick physique, so accidents are most likely not going to be an enormous situation, and he’s the subsequent nice scorer on this league.”

SLEEP ON IT

Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics

Colin’s ideas: “Tatum performed KD in a playoff collection this 12 months, and I assumed he outplayed him. Jayson does not have an ego. Jayson is all in. Jayson is dedicated. Jayson is not impulsive. Jayson is a greater defensive participant when he needs to be. I would sleep on it, however I would not make the transfer.”

Zion Williamson, New Orleans Pelicans

Colin’s ideas: “With Zion, I would make the transfer. I like Zion, however his accidents freak me out, and now he is tremendous costly. Nonetheless, when Zion is wholesome, his numbers are Wilt.”

Trae Younger, Atlanta Hawks

Colin’s ideas: “He does not play any protection. I am unsure what sort of chief he’s, however I believe folks can be ticked off in Atlanta in case you moved him for Durant, I actually do. When you have a look at the place the league goes, it is a shooter’s league. This child is magic.”

Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns

Colin’s ideas: “I believe Devin is a extremely good participant, however I do not assume that he is the alpha chief. I do not assume he is a fantastic defensive participant. He is shot-maker, however he isn’t Durant. If I needed to make the transfer, I would make that transfer.”

Donovan Mitchell, Utah Jazz

Colin’s ideas: “I would most likely make the transfer. He does not play a lot protection anymore, and he had the Gobert state of affairs, which wasn’t ultimate.”
