Golden State Warriors: 5 realistic three-team trades involving Kevin Durant

No. 1

This is it. This is the trade that’d I’d like to see the most, and to be fair to all parties, this trade seems like a fair deal all around. Let’s dive into how it makes sense for each of the three teams.

For starters, the Pacers, who are the least likely to do this deal, may lose Bojan Bogdonavic.

If they do, they’ll potentially enter a full rebuild. Behind the addition Kevin Knox, they’d be able to quickly turn their team around. They’d also potentially snag Anthony Edwards, who is projected to be the No. 2 overall pick and is compared to a stronger Victor Oladipo.

For the Knicks, again, two first-round picks and Knox for Durant is almost an automatic deal on their end. There’s not much left on their team that others would want outside of RJ Barrett, who they likely would deem untouchable.

Then, lastly, for Golden State, you get defensive mastermind, Victor Oladipo. Dipo, as he’s also called, averaged over 18 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds in the 36 games he played this past season prior to going down with a season-ending knee injury.

He would replace Durant’s production and allow an incredible small-ball lineup featuring Curry, Thompson, Oladipo, Green and Iggy. That’s a tough lineup to stop and one Golden State could wreak havoc with.

Creating all these trades, I think they’re all win-win-wins. There isn’t much reason for any team mentioned to be opposed to any of these deals. That said, which wouldn’t a team take?
