A 36-year-old superstar, the transaction price is 4 first round + 2 new stars, is it high? Want to bet on how long he will be at his peak

The NBA playoffs are in progress. Due to Morant's injury, the Thunder swept the Grizzlies 4-0 and easily advanced to the second round. Brother Morant was dissatisfied and said directly in the interview, "If I were not injured, it should be 2-2 now. I have already studied them clearly." Fans all said that before Morant was injured, the Grizzlies were leading by more than 20 points and should not be swept. Dort injured Morant, which caused heated discussions across the league. Many fans felt that Dort's defense was indeed too dirty, and Dillon Brooks seemed a little clean in front of him. Will the Grizzlies renew Morant's contract with a maximum salary this summer? Have the Grizzlies considered trading Morant? According to the official report of the US media ESPN, in this summer, the ranking of the most likely stars to leave the team, including Durant of the Suns, Morant of the Grizzlies, Zion Williams of the Pelicans, Trae Young of the Hawks, and Markkanen of the Jazz, these five major stars may trade and leave the team this summer offseason. Of course, it is not ruled out that super MVP superstars like Antetokounmpo or Jokic will also apply for a trade to leave the team. Jokic was dismissed by mentor Mike Malone, and Jokic had many fierce verbal conflicts with the coach during the playoffs.

When a team has made no achievements for several consecutive seasons, their lineup should be disbanded. The Suns' three-tier lineup of Durant + Booker + Bill is no longer optimistic in the entire league, and it is more reasonable to disband. Because this lineup really has no defense, the results in the past two years have proved. Suns boss Ishbiya has basically realized that this lineup costs a lot of money (the highest salary in the league + the highest luxury tax) and still cannot get the rewards it deserves. Durant also wants to leave the Suns and prove himself again.

U.S. media ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel officially reported that Kevin Durant is the most likely to part ways with the Phoenix Suns, and breaking up may be a good thing for both sides. Suns owner Ishbiya and management believe that the 36-year-old Durant is still one of the best scorers in the league. In the transaction involving Durant, the Suns will not accept a lower quotation than the one he gave when he got him from the Nets. At the beginning, the Suns used Bridges + Cameron Johnson + Claude + 4 first-round picks + 1 first-round swap right to get Durant from the Nets' trade.

This means that the Suns' lowest chip requirements for trading Durant in the offseason this summer: 4 first-round picks + 2 new stars. Is this asking price too high? Durant is 36 years old this season. He has played in 62 games, averaging 26.6 points per game (sixth in the league) + 6.0 rebounds + 4.2 assists + 0.8 steals + 1.2 blocks, shooting percentage of 52.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 43.0%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.9%. Durant is still in the top ten in the league in scoring, scoring efficiency and three-point shooting percentage, and is still very efficient. Therefore, the Suns believe that 36-year-old Durant still maintains his peak and that he deserves higher chips.

James led the Lakers to win the 2020 championship when he was 36 years old. James maintained his peak to 40 years old. If Durant also maintained his peak to over 40 years old like James, he would not lose too much price at the age of 36 now. Do you think Durant and Curry can maintain their peak to 40 like James? Durant has only one year left in his contract, with a salary of US$54.71 million next season. During this summer's offseason, he will be eligible to sign a two-year, $124 million contract extension. If you were the team owner, would you choose to trade Soha Durant this summer offseason?
