NBA Analyst Explores Possibility Of Kevin Durant Going To The Denver Nuggets: “They Could Be The Best Team In The West”

Kevin Durant became the hot topic of the recent NBA offseason after the 34-year old superstar requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. Everyone expected that Durant would land on a new team, but it surprisingly didn’t happen as Durant eventually decided to stay put with the team.

Now, fans and pundits are once again looking at the possibility of a potential Durant trade this season amid the mess and drama surrounding the team. The Nets are sitting 12^th in the Eastern Conference with a 6-9 record. They recently fired head coach Steve Nash and have been without Kyrie Irving for seven games now.

Appearing on Sirius XM NBA Radio, NBA analyst Frank Isola now spoke to former Boston Celtics power forward Brian Scalabrine and brought up a trade scenario that would send Durant to the Denver Nuggets.

“Is there anyway Denver could get Kevin Durant? Imagine Kevin Durant with Nikola Jokic… If you’re the Denver Nuggets, this could be your opportunity. You’ve never won an NBA championship before. You do have Jokic. Tell you what, you put Kevin Durant on that team, they’re not the favorites to come out of the West? They might be the favorites as it is.”

“Kevin Durant and Nikola Jokic playing together, come on. Kevin Durant would be in heaven playing with a guy like Nikola Jokic with that kind of brain. When it comes to having a basketball brain, they’re on the same level, which is a much different level than just about the entire league. He wouldn’t enjoy that?”

“From a basketball standpoint, it might not be the worst thing for him. Spend the next three years playing with Nikola Jokic. They’ll be the best team in the West, could be the best team in the NBA.”
