Kevin Durant wants the hell out of Brooklyn, that much is known.

What we still don’t know is where he’ll end up. Durant and his trade request from the Brooklyn Nets has continued to dominate NBA offseason coverage. It is now 100% obvious that the future Hall of Famer wants out of Brooklyn and will do whatever it takes to get moved. While one dark horse recently emerged, we’re now learning that Durant has a few landing spots he’d be comfortable with.

One landing spot is the Philadelphia Sixers. Rumors surfaced following Durant being seen at a Travis Scott concert with former Nets teammate and current Sixers guard, James Harden. Harden and KD were in London taking in a Travis Scott concert,  further fueling the KD to Sixers rumor.

You can see Durant and Harden hanging below:

Not only is Durant interested in Boston, he also would like to play with his buddy in Philly according to the latest report.

Per Ian Begley of SNY:

“Well, it’s worth noting that, in addition to Boston, Durant also sees Philadelphia as another desired landing spot, per people familiar with the matter.”

As of earlier this week, there were high-ranking members of the Sixers who’ve felt strongly about engaging with Brooklyn on a Durant trade.

It is unknown if Brooklyn and Philadelphia have made any recent progress on a trade.”

Can you imagine a Big 3 of Harden, Embiid and Durant?

Now the problem is, what can the Sixers really offer the Nets in order to make this deal happen?
