Want to get Durant! I need to give Zubac, the Sun a problem

7:51pm, 13 June 2025【Basketball】

As the NBA draft approaches, the trade about Durant is already accelerating. According to Suns reporter John Gambadoro, Durant will definitely leave the team before the draft. But he also believes that Durant is likely to be traded in advance next week, and the Spurs are now out. They were Durant's first favorite next home, the second is the Timberwolves and the third is the Rockets. But the Spurs really cannot show enough sincerity in terms of chips.

The team that can get Durant is now the Timberwolves and the Rockets. If there is a report from Meiji, you may choose one of them, and both teams can provide good bargaining chips. But Matt Moore, a reporter from the US media "Action Network", believes that there is a team that cannot be ignored, they are the Clippers. John Gambadoro also believes that the Clippers are hungry for Durant, and the two sides have indeed become more intense in recent discussions. But both sides have been stuck on Zubac, and the Suns' attitude has always been that Durant must bring a center to join in the deal.

The Clippers don't have many chips, and the player who most interested the Suns is Zubac. Azu's performance in the last two seasons makes the Suns feel that he has hope of becoming an All-Star. The Suns want to build a team around Booker and want to renew their contract of 150 million for two years in advance. If Durant trades for Zubac, the Suns can form an internal and external combination with Booker and Zubac, then find an opportunity to take action against Bill to replace the front line, and finally introduce another point guard, and the Suns can rise again. The key point in the deal between the Clippers and the Suns is indeed Zubac. In other words, as long as the Clippers agree to trade Zubac, the Suns will definitely send Durant, which is Azu's current value. Of course, Zubac will definitely have a great effect on the Clippers. He is Harden's most perfect inside partner. Frank is unlikely to take action, but we analyze from another perspective that the Clippers have the motivation to win Durant. Ballmer originally planned to free up 140 million space in 2027 to completely rebuild.

The team contract will only have one Zubac left. The Clippers are actually relying on Harden and Leonard to fight for the next two seasons. So why should the Clippers keep Zubac? It's better to play a big shot. Durant, Leonard and Harden will compete for another two years. If it works, it will make a lot of money, and if it doesn't work, it will be rebuilt. In this way, no player in the Clippers will be held on a contract in two years, so Frank will match it as he wants. He can use his huge space to attract free All-Stars to join and cooperate with the Los Angeles market to do a big fight.

The Clippers will also make Ballmer profitable in the next two seasons. If you get Durant's Clippers, if you have these three big players, the traffic will definitely be full. Imagine that the Clippers’ tickets are not allowed to be sold out in the new season? And the Clippers are not without substitutes, Capela is already a free agent. Using Harden as a lobbyist to persuade Capela to join, a middle-class special case can be won. Then make a small repair and make up for it, and the Clippers can still do a big battle around the Big Three.

Capela cooperated with Harden in a tacit understanding. Durant can pull space and attack tough in the fourth position, and he is both offensive and defensive. Although the Suns did not enter the playoffs this season, when Durant was able to play, the Suns' winning rate was 53%. When Durant was unable to play, the Suns only achieved a record of 2 wins and 17 losses on Booker. This can already show that although Durant is old, there is still a lot of oil. We know that the three giants of the Clippers are very old and are the Sunset Red Team. But even if this Big Three has not won the championship, it is not full of topics. Ballmer can take another bet, anyway, it would be a loss to his grandma's house in 2019. But it has been so far, it doesn’t make sense for you to give up.
