Have the Boston Celtics knocked the Phoenix Suns out of the Kevin Durant sweepstakes?
The Boston Celtics just made it to the NBA Finals with a young core of All-Stars Jayson Tatum (23 years old) and Jaylen Brown (25), but appear to be willing to break up that core to bring in Kevin Durant.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news the Celtics are interested in Durant, and then The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that the Celtics have already made an offer to the Brooklyn Nets that, on the surface, trumps anything the Suns have offered to date.
