NBA free agency is known to have its ups and downs as players and teams wait for certain dominoes to fall around the league. And, according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Kevin Durant’s seismic trade request is halting another major potential deal.
Appearing on Friday’s episode of Get Up, Windhorst discussed the possibility of the Pacers giving restricted free agent Deandre Ayton an offer sheet, or potentially adding him in a sign-and-trade that could send center Myles Turner to the Suns. Unfortunately for Indiana, however, Phoenix currently remains at the forefront of the KD sweepstakes after the 12-time All-Star listed the club as one of his preferred landing spots.
