Who can resist it? The new four young ones performed well
This season, the Thunder's performance is very bright, the most surprising thing is that their new leader Alexander, has shown a mature strength that this age does not have, from now on, Alexander's performance is very bright, has been among the top of the NBA defensive player rankings, only slightly inferior to Curry, Doncic, these two are the backbone of the team, especially Doncic, not long after joining, with outstanding ball control skills, quickly got everyone's recognition, And Alexander, tied with him, is enough to prove that he is strong.
Against Minnesota, Alexander led his own team, continued to seek to score in unfavorable situations, and won the game in a "sophisticated" way. It is said that the boss of the Thunder also takes a fancy to the team's potential. So, they started to have a very bold plan, that is, they could spend a lot of money in exchange for a star. Now it seems that they are ready to trade with seven first-round picks and four potential players. Durant, Busher, Butler, Brother Alphabet, they are all veteran players who have entered the NBA, and their ability is beyond doubt.
The reason why the Thunder are willing to use seven draft picks is to provide enough money for the team, 16 No. 16 No. 1 picks, 23 second-round picks, all to help the team rebuild. However, this reorganization is mainly to keep the lineup strong and find a main force, and now, under the leadership of Alexander, the new Thunder Four Lesser has also begun to emerge and perform very well. It would be a shame to rebuild now, they have lost their best opportunity, and of course they will not let go of this opportunity.
Among the many possible trade partners, the Thunder prefer to sign Durant for a very simple reason. Durant is very capable, he is about to retire, at this age, Durant no longer cares less about his own private interests, he cares more about whether his team can win the championship. And Durant is also the most approachable player at present, although they have had friction with Durant, but with their ability, they can exchange Durant with seven top picks, so the Suns, who have conflicts with Durant, should also have some scruples.
From this point of view, Durant wants to leave the Suns and join the Thunder, which is a normal thing, because they just used the first-round pick to get Durant, so their lineup has not changed much. Durant is much more likely to want to leave the team, and if he does want to trade with the team, bringing in Durant is very likely.
Overall, it would be difficult for them to trade away Brother Alphabet, Big Eyebrow and Butler if they were to trade for seven No. 1 picks, as they were all trying to improve their quality and hope to win more championships. But the Suns are different, the Suns now know very well that it will be very difficult for them to win a championship, and Durant is very unhappy with the Suns, so they are likely to make such a big deal that will shake the whole league!
