The Clippers withdrew from the Durant battle, will it be greatly difficult for the Suns to send him away?

American media ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel updated his social media account and talked about the situation between the Los Angeles Clippers and Kevin Durant. Siegel believes that the possibility of the Clippers becoming Durant's next home has been downplayed. According to the message sent out, Hoops Wire reporter Matt Moore said that the Clippers, like all other teams in the league, did not attract that high market attention. Siegel's contacts indicate that the Clippers may be interested in Durant, but many industry insiders believe that the probability of getting Durant is not high, and their speculation that the Clippers are dark horses has been greatly downplayed.

In the NBA regular season this season, Durant made a total of 62 appearances, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, averaging 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, and 3.1 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 43%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.9%. Of course, Durant's personal performance this season is quite good. His scoring ability is quite good. He can maintain stable offensive efficiency. He also has some passing and support abilities. He is also working relatively hard on the defensive end. Unfortunately, the Suns' overall record is really bad, and Durant's performance cannot change the situation of the team.

According to previous news, the Clippers intend to exchange for a potential giant and enhance the overall competitiveness of the team by sending away some of these players such as Norman Powell, Derrick Jones Jr., Kris Dunn, Bogdan Bogdanovic and even Ivica Zubac. Considering that these players are all good players, their contracts can be considered relatively high-quality contracts, such a quote may also impress the Suns Uniform Group. After all, they also need to find ways to reduce their salary levels and increase their operational flexibility.

However, it seems that the Clippers may not agree with Durant's ability at the current stage and his influence on the game, and they are not willing to get him by breaking the team's rotation. In fact, from the perspective of chips, the players provided by the Clippers are really good. Their joining can also ensure that the Suns' competitiveness is maintained at a high level and greatly improve the team's trading flexibility. As the Clippers withdraw from trading, the difficulty of the Suns in sending Durant away will be further improved.
