It is just not true because of his age and injury history - NBA analyst on Kevin Durant not being the most valuable trade asset names 2 players who had better value than him

Kevin Durant has been in multiple trade rumors since requesting a trade from the Brooklyn Nets - Kevin Durant has been a regular feature in the headlines since requesting a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. There are a few teams in the mix to onboard the 33-year-old, but nothing significant has transpired since last week. NBA analyst Nick Wright believes Durant, despite his ability on the court, is not the most valuable trade asset in the league. Wright has offered some hot takes since KD's trade request, but this one might be right up among the very best. Speaking about the two-time champ on "First Things First," he said: "Folks keep saying that Kevin Durant's the most valuable trade asset in NBA history like he'll be the best player ever traded. But it is just not true because of his age and his injury history. They are talking that they will get the biggest haul that anyone's ever gotten for a player in modern NBA history." "Folks keep saying KD's the most valuable trade asset in modern NBA history. He's not bc of his age & injury history. AD at 26 & the PG13 trade were more valuable. When you hear the Nets want All-Star players & 6 picks, that's not going to happen for a 34 y/o KD."—"Folks keep saying KD's the most valuable trade asset in modern NBA history.

Both of these stars were traded before they turned 30. However, Durant is on a completely different list altogether when compared to Davis and George. Any franchise that brings him in becomes an instant favorite to win it all. The Nets are adamant that they want a monumental deal for their star forward. Whether they get that or not is a big question. But the franchise is in no hurry and is ready to wait until they find the right deal. REPORT: The Nets thought there would be a “massive” bidding war for Kevin Durant, and, while there’s a ton of interest, the bidding war reportedly isn’t “hot”.

Does Kevin Durant deserve to get the best haul for any player in NBA history

Boston Celtics v Brooklyn Nets - Game Four KD's two preferred destinations are the and Miami Heat. For the Nets to crack a deal with either of these teams is difficult because of a lack of resources. Even if they were to come to a consensus on a deal, there are doubts about what the team will have left after onboarding KD. Aged 33, there is no doubt that he still has a lot left in his tank. However, in the past few years, he has had injury problems that have kept him out of the game for months. The former MVP is a proven performer in the playoffs, which is why teams would risk that and trade for him. "KD's entering his 15th yr. He played 90 games the last 3 yrs. ... He's played 11 yrs not in Golden State. 10 of those yrs he played w/ another superstar & hasn't won a title. KD now at 34 is going to do something he hasn't done in 11 yrs when he was younger?" — "KD's entering his 15th yr. He played 90 games the last 3 yrs. ...

The team from Brooklyn has certainly taken inspiration from what the offered for .

The Timberwolves declined.

(via @chrisbhaynes, )REPORT: The Brooklyn Nets asked the Minnesota Timberwolves for Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards, and 4 draft-picks in exchange for Kevin Durant. The Timberwolves declined.(via @chrisbhaynes, ) KD definitely deserves more than that because of what he has done in the league. But trade deals can be tricky, and there is no certainty that the Nets will get what they want for Durant. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
