Nba market: Boston also tries the sprint for Durant. Gobert in Minnesota

Kevin Durant’s future destination continues to hold sway with at least half of the NBA teams that have already contacted the Nets with proposals for a trade. KD wants Miami or Phoenix but Brooklyn might prefer packages from other clubs, with New Orleans, Toronto and even Boston ready to try the sprint to get to the superstar of the Nets. Meanwhile, Kyrie Irving tweeted the image of a bird coming out of his cage in order not to contradict himself, once more infuriating the fans of the Nets. Everything was Kyrie in Brooklyn except a caged animal, having received too much autonomy from the property from the start.

The operations

–

Waiting to understand Durant’s future, the free agency proceeds and a couple of interesting market operations arrive. The Jazz have decided to re-establish and Minnesota won the race for Rudy Gobert in the end, although certainly not at a final price. The Timberwolves, in fact, send Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Leandro Bolmaro, Walker Kessler and four future top picks to Salt Lake City. T-Wolves’ new puppeteer Tim Connelly spares no expense to secure the 30-year-old Frenchman who looks like the ideal player to help the club make the defensive leap in quality. At this point it becomes difficult to think that even Donovan Mitchell did not play his last race with the Jazz shirt and is leaving.

Exchange Huerter

–

The Kings, on the other hand, set up a trade with the Hawks bringing Kevin Huerter to Sacramento in exchange for Justin Holiday, Maurice Harkless and a future first choice. The bench of the reigning champions gets a makeover. Golden State has to say goodbye to Gary Payton II, fresh from very good performances in the Finals, who chooses to marry the Blazers with a three-year deal worth 28 million. Otto Porter Jr, who goes to the Raptors, Damion Lee (destination Suns) and Nemanja Bjelica also leave. The Serbian returns to Europe and signs with Fenerbahce. The Warriors, however, manage to keep Kevon Looney who agrees with the Californian club for a three-year worth 25.5 million and convince the former Sacramento Donte DiVincenzo with a two-year worth 9.3 million. After making Bulls fans worry about delaying his signing on the max renewal offered by Chicago, All Star Zach LaVine agrees as expected with his club and extends by accepting the 215 million five-year term. Not even Derrick Jones Jr leaves Chicago, signing a two-year deal worth 6.6 million.
