Kevin Durant’s trade request from the Brooklyn Nets sent shockwaves through the NBA earlier this summer, but since then it has been rather quiet. The Nets understandably have been reluctant to entertain trade offers for their superstar forward, and Durant by all indications is sticking to his trade demands out of the Big Apple.
Monday morning, Shams Charania of The Athletic suggested the Atlanta Hawks attempted to get in on the Durant sweepstakes last month. Charania reports the Hawks offered John Collins, De’Andre Hunter and a draft pick for Durant, according to sources.
This doesn’t seem to be the most competitive offer for Durant, as the Nets have been asking for a king’s ransom in their reported asking price with other teams.
