On March 13, Beijing time, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic, Mavericks general manager Harrison hopes to get Durant through a trade this summer, so that he can form the Mavericks' new Big Three with thick eyebrows and Irving. Harrison wants to maximize the team's current potential with this deal and give them the ability to compete for a championship.

The question is, what chips should the Mavericks use in exchange for Durant? Previously, ESPN had already analyzed the relevant and gave a transaction plan. The plan is for the Mavericks to send Klay, PJ Washington, Marshall, Lively and a 2025 first-round pick in exchange for Durant from the Suns.

However, not many people are optimistic about such a deal, after all, in order to get Durant, the Mavericks' roster depth will be greatly affected. Coupled with the fact that Irving is reimbursed for injury this season and is expected to miss a lot of games next season, even if they are traded for Durant, they seem to be far from the goal of winning the championship.

So far this season, Durant has remained at the top level, being selected as an All-Star for the 14th time this year, and in 52 games with the Suns, he averaged 26.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.

Parsons, a former NBA player and famous, also mentioned the question of Durant's whereabouts. The two teams he thinks Durant are best suited are the Lakers and the Mavericks. 'At this stage of his career, he just wants to win. Partnered with healthy Doncic and James...... Or both thick eyebrows and Owen make sense. ”

League sources have revealed that the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Rockets and Heat will be looking to trade Kevin Durant in the offseason. Durant next season will be the final year of his current contract with an annual salary of $54.7 million.

ESPN also noted that two factors will play a key role if a Durant trade is completed this summer. One: Is Durant willing to sign a two-year, $122 million contract extension with the team that got him in a trade? With Durant available as a free agent in 2026, it's unlikely that a team will be able to give away draft picks and players for a one-year loan.

Second, and most importantly, does the team that traded Durant still have what it takes to compete for a championship? Durant is 36 years old, and his next team is likely to be his last chance to land his third championship ring.
