On Wednesday, two very noteworthy reports came out regarding Kevin Durant and the Celtics — one funny and one eyebrow-raising.
The former came from Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe, who reported that the Nets initially asked for Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum in exchange for Durant — a laughable request, and probably indicative of how unmotivated the Nets were to move their superstar at that point in the proceedings. The Celtics probably would not trade Tatum and Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo. They will not trade them for 34-year-old Kevin Durant.
