Why The Toronto Raptors Should Trade For Keving Durant

Why the Toronto Raptors should trade for Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant has been in. the news lately for the first time since his teammate Kyrie Irving has highjacked the headlines for the last two weeks. but Kevin Is back in the news because word on the block is that NBA teams have been reaching out and re-engaging with the Brooklyn Nets about Trading for Kevin Durant. Now I can only think of two reasons why they are reaching out now. the first reason is the Kyrie Irving situation that is playing out in the news, in which Kyrie Irving has been suspended for five days but it could be indefinitely. In order for Kyrie Irving to come back and play the Brooklyn nets have come up with prerequisites that Kyrie must meet if he is to return to the hardwood. And many have speculated including me that Kyrie Irving may opt not to meet these requirements and choose to sit out because one Kyrie Irving is stubborn but also Kyrie Irving has apologized for his tweet regarding the Jewish community. But the Brooklyn Nets still insist on him donating $500,000 to the Jewish community among other things he has to do to come back and play. this has struck a nerve with many around the NBA including Jay William of ESPN who stated what the Brooklyn Nets are currently doing to Kyrie Irving Buck-breaking a ritual slave master used to engage in, in order to break the spirit of a slave. Lebron James of the Los Angeles Lakers has also spoken out claiming that Since Kyrie Irving has apologized, he should be allowed to return. I speculate that General managers around the league are extrapolating this situation and considering what happens if Kyrie Doesn't return and the Nets release him. They are probably thinking at that point the Brooklyn Nets will have to trade Kevin durant, because, they wouldn't want to. keep him on a team with scrubs in which he could waste away his last good years. and two, he would be their best chance of gaining draft capital to rebuild for the future after Kevin durant and Kyrie Irving. The second reason General managers are now reaching out to the Brooklyn nets is that. like many in the NBA, they've come to the conclusion that the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving experiment is a failure and the Brooklyn Nets would be wise to move those two in order to move forward.
