Although the Suns have not found Durant s next home, they have found a third party to the deal?

According to Matt Moore, an NBA reporter for the US media Action Network, the Minnesota Timberwolves had tried to introduce Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns through a three-party transaction, but was rejected by the player himself. Subsequently, American media ClutchPoints reporter Erik Slate reposted the news and wrote: I had already talked about this on the podcast yesterday. The Brooklyn Nets are likely to be involved in the deal about Kevin Durant, and Nicolas Claxton's connection with the Suns seems to be getting closer.

In the NBA regular season this season, Durant played a total of 62 games in 82 games, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, averaging 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, and 3.1 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 43%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.9%. In the NBA regular season this season, Clarkston made a total of 70 appearances in 82 games, averaging 26.9 minutes per game, averaging 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.4 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 56.3%, three-point shooting percentage 23.8%, and free throw shooting percentage 51.5%.

Judging from his performance this season, Clarkston still shows his value on both offense and defense. Although due to the instability of the Nets in terms of tactical system and personnel arrangements, Clarkston's data seems to have experienced some ups and downs and fluctuations compared to last season, and his contribution to both offense and defense seems to be not as outstanding as in previous seasons, he is still a reliable substitute center candidate, and the Suns actually have a high demand for players of his type. But the problem is that the Nets are no longer the Nets that were a few years ago. In other words, Durant has no value to the Nets today, and the Nets will definitely not win Durant under the current circumstances.

Then the situation becomes very interesting. Although the Suns have not been able to successfully send Durant out, it seems that several teams interested in Durant will not give Durant a high offer under the current circumstances, it is worth noting that the Suns have found a third party to Durant's deal. Considering that the Suns' current total salary has exceeded the second rich line, they are also subject to many restrictions on trading. Finding a third party like the Nets with a lot of salary space is also very critical to making this deal. The problem is that the second party has not been found and the eight characters are not one. What is the point of finding the third party first?
