One writer proposed a trade idea where the Lakers get involved in a deal that moves Kevin Durant in order to land themselves another major piece.

Durant has one year left on his deal. He turns 37 in September. The NBA icon averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists for the Suns this season in 62 games while shooting 52.7% from the field, 43.0% from 3 and 83.9% from the free-throw line.

Trade negotiations appear to be in something of a standoff, with Houston having a “firm offer” for Kevin Durant while Phoenix remains “underwhelmed.”
