According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Phoenix Suns are most definitely trading Kevin Durant and it has come down to three teams they are negotiating with currently.

The frontrunners to potentially land Durant are the Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets, and Miami Heat. All three of these teams have shown legit interest since the NBA trade deadline, or, for the Heat, since the time the Suns landed him.

Serious negotiations have manifested over the past 48 hours, which includes multiple offers. Charania reports a deal could be done in the coming days.

“There is some serious traction on conversations, on trade scenarios,” Charania said on the Pat McAfee Show. “They’ve had about six to eight teams reach out. There’s been interest. There’s been some offers. There’s been some negotiation.”

Many reports have said a trade could be done before June 25th’s NBA draft.

According to Pablo Torre, there could have been a world where Brian Windhorst left ESPN to work for the Oklahoma City Thunder in an intel role.

OKC wanted his connections and knowledge ten years ago; by getting Windhorst, they would of had a competitive advantage over teams in the NBA. He essentially has sources at every level of the game with a vast wealth of networking opportunities.

“One thing I can report is that a little over a decade ago, he actually explored our extremely plugged-in buddy, Brian Windhorst, away from ESPN, to work as an information guy for the Thunder,” Torre continued. “And the question of like, ‘Why would he do that?’ The reason that Sam Presti kicked the tires on hiring Brian Windhorst from ESPN is that information to Sam Presti is currency. It is an edge, a competitive advantage. And you don’t surrender that information.”

Since losing out on the Windhorst sweepstakes, they went in the direction of hiring hired Sebastian Pruti as a video analyst, as well as Royce Young from ESPN for their basketball operations content position.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Indiana Pacers rising superstar suffered an ankle injury during Game 2’s defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was seen leaving the limping after the game had concluded.

Despite dealing with this injury, not knowing the severity, Indiana has not put him on the injury report ahead of Wednesday’s Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

“What did catch my eye again is him limping right there uh and he said he had a lower body injury,” said Charania on Wednesday’s Pat McAfee Show. “I did some digging on it and I am told it is an ankle issue [and] some soreness that he’s dealing with.”

Even with the latest injury, Haliburton will not miss Game 3 and, right now, does not have a minutes restriction. It appears this will run as normal.

Throughout the series, Alex Caruso and this incredible OKC team have been able to limit the offensive production of Haliburton. They’ve limited him to only thirteen shot attempts per game and forcing him to commit four turnovers per game.

The Finals is tied 1-1.
