Goodbye! The first team withdrew from the Durant battle. Because there are non-selling items in the team, we will leave it to Antetokounmpo

In this offseason, the whereabouts of Suns star Kevin Durant have attracted widespread attention. As we all know, the Suns have planned to trade Durant, and it is only a matter of time before KD leaves Phoenix. As the draft approaches, it is generally believed in the industry that Durant's deal will be settled before and after the draft. Judging from the current information, the teams that are interested in getting Durant are mainly: the Rockets, Timberwolves, Spurs, Heat, Clippers and Raptors.

, many teams have provided trading quotes for Durant, such as the Rockets gave Green + No. 10 chips; the Timberwolves provided more chips, with Gobert + Divinchenzo as the main body; the Spurs want to trade Durant with the Suns around the No. 14 draw. The Suns are not very interested in these chips. The Suns believe that Durant's value is far more than this. However, other teams are reluctant to make more bargaining chips, and Durant's trade has stalled. On June 19, a team was the first to withdraw from Durant's trade battle, that is, the Los Angeles Clippers. According to ActionNetwork reporter Matt Moore, news of the Clippers chasing Durant seems to be outdated. According to sources, the negotiations may have ended once the Sun shows interest in Zubac. Los Angeles regards Zubac as a non-sale product unless it can be exchanged for top players like Antetokounmpo. In other words, the Clippers will only send Zubac away when they trade super giants like Antetokounmpo.

In my opinion, this decision of the Clippers is obviously correct. Because if they want to chase Durant, there are not many chips that can be used. The Clippers do not have as many draft picks and young players as the Rockets. 2. There is no Timberwolves that can match Durant's immediate combat power unless they are willing to give out Little Card or Harden. However, this is obviously impossible. Therefore, players like Zubac will inevitably be involved in the transaction. The problem is that Zubac is obviously not suitable to trade Durant.

Because, in this Clippers, Zubac's tactical position is still very important, and he is the most reliable player in the Clippers except Carden. If you pursue Durant, it would be fine if you need Zubac, after all, Zubac attends a lot of attendance in his youth. It’s not that Durant is not strong, but that he is really old. In the new season of the Clippers, Kahaden Zubac Jr. will be repaired and played. The current Clippers are relatively old, and their overall health is at the 5-10 level in the West. In addition, Durant cannot surpass the Western Conference semi-finals. It is right not to leave Zubac, otherwise the team's defensive system will completely collapse.

In this year's playoffs, Zubac has further improved his value, especially in the series against the Nuggets, Zubac is against Jokic, and he plays against Jokic back and forth on both offense and defense, and has the strength of an All-Star center. Moreover, Zubac is still very young and still has room for growth in the future, and the contract is also very cost-effective. If you give Zubac to Durant, who is about to turn 38, you will obviously lose money to your grandma's business.

Of course, if the Clippers want to chase Antetokounmpo, there are two situations. If Antetokounmpo enters the trading market, the Clippers can put any player in the team on the trading shelves, including Zubac, and go to Antetokounmpo. Looking back, if the Suns want to trade Durant, they must not speak out again, otherwise more and more teams will withdraw from the trading negotiations. Suns general manager James Jones may watch Durant lose money in his hands until he leaves as a free agent.
