Kevin Durant continues to dominate the rumor mill this offseason
Kevin Durant shook the trade market when he requested a move out of Brooklyn on June 30th. Several teams around the league showed interest in acquiring the former league MVP. However, the Brooklyn Nets' steep asking price has slowed trade talks circling their talisman.
Durant still has four years left on his current deal, giving the Nets the leverage to take their time to find a suitable package. They want a bonafide All-Star in return and contributing players, along with hefty draft compensation.
Rudy Gobert's trade to the Minnesota Timberwolves has also played a part in Durant staying on Brooklyn's roster, almost a month after his request to be traded.
The T'Wolves offered the Jazz five first-round picks, which may have increased the market price for Kevin Durant. The Brooklyn Nets have engaged in discussions with the Phoenix Suns, Miami Heat, Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors.
Their talks with the Celtics were in the spotlight recently. As per NBA rumors, Boston offered a package centered around Jaylen Brown.
Sources: The Boston Celtics have offered a Jaylen Brown package to the Nets for Kevin Durant, which Brooklyn turned down and countered.

However, the Nets declined the offer as they wanted reigning DPOY Marcus Smart, another rotation player and draft picks. Kevin Durant's injury history and age have contributed to teams not matching Brooklyn's demands.
It will be interesting to see how willing the Celtics and the other contenders in the Kevin Durant sweepstakes are.
