USA TODAY Sports confirmed what ESPN and The Athletic had said: Boston and Brooklyn have talked about Boston getting Durant.

Boston would reportedly need to break up its finals core to meet Brooklyn’s asking price. The temptation of KD might be too strong to resist.

Durant went to Seattle to begin his Hall of Fame career, and things worked out just fine when Boston won the 2008 title.

In 2016, the Celtics had another brush with Durant after they (and Tom Brady) met with KD in the Hamptons. But Durant chose to join the Warriors.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Celtics offered a package that included Jaylen Brown to the Nets for Durant.

Durant was a highly sought-after high school player who was thought to be the second-best player in his class by most people.

As a professional, he has won two NBA championships, an NBA Most Valuable Player Award, two Finals MVP Awards, two NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Awards, and four NBA scoring titles.
