NBA rumors: Clippers trading interest in Holiday is "exaggerated", or may be interested in Durant

8:17am, 10 June 2025Basketball

At the time when rumors about Ju Holiday are ongoing, there are rumors that the Los Angeles Clippers may be interested in trading Kevin Durant.

At present, rumors are rampant, and many players are speculating that they will be traded sometime during the offseason. Recently, rumors of the Los Angeles Clippers’ interest in defender Ju Holiday have been rampant, which seems to indicate that the Clippers are actually more interested in Kevin Durant.

There were previously rumors that the Clippers were interested in trading the 34-year-old defender with the Boston Celtics. However, this does not seem to be true. According to Hardwood Paroxysm, the Los Angeles Clippers are in talks with the Phoenix Suns to evaluate Kevin Durant's transfer eligibility.

However, Hadud's "pain" clearly shows that almost all teams are talking to the Suns about Durant. It's just that the Clippers are one of the few teams that leaked this information to the media.

"Law Murray recently said on the podcast that the Clippers' interest in Holiday was exaggerated; I heard the same thing. They are looking for more important goals, although I don't think it's a very likely chance of a deal in the end. Rather than revealing the amazing news that they are negotiating with the Phoenix Suns for Durant, it's better to say this: They, like other teams in the league, have already spoken with the Phoenix Suns about Durant, and they happen to be one of the teams whose negotiations have been exposed."

The Clippers may be a little difficult to trade Kevin Durant. They do have the 30th overall pick in the NBA Draft. Apart from that, Los Angeles only has experienced veteran players at their disposal. So the Suns will most likely have to get more veteran players in their deals with Los Angeles instead of focusing on younger players.

The Suns will show a strong interest in Durant throughout the offseason. The 36-year-old forward averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 62 games, shooting 52.7% from the field and 43.0% from three-pointers.
