After another Kevin Durant trade sweepstakes, the saga is over as the NBA Champion and All-Star has been dealt to the Houston Rockets. While there was speculation that the Toronto Raptors were trying to involve themselves in a trade to bring Kevin Durant to Toronto, it never seemed likely that it would happen. For one, Toronto didn’t have the assets Phoenix was asking for, based on the eventual trade. Then there was the fact that Durant was vocal about his preferred locations, likely needed to approve a trade, or the team involved would risk him not extending with them in a year.
Toronto didn’t get Kevin Durant, and that’s OK
