The Kevin Durant sweepstakes is about to start. A bunch of teams want him and will do almost anything to get him. We’ve heard about the Rockets, Celtics, Wizards, Heat, Knicks and even the Warriors. Well, now it looks like the Clippers are willing to what it takes to nab Durant.
The Clippers are willing to go all the way to get Durant. Lucas Hann of Clips Nation reported via Twitter
Hearing Clippers are very dedicated to their pursuit of Kevin Durant this summer in a Griffin-Durant sign-and-trade.

There’s no doubt that the Clippers need a change because they’ve stuck with the same core and essentially plateaued. For the past few years, they’ve been a high profile team that you could pencil into the playoffs and make it to the 2nd round. They have championship potential but at what point does potential turn into that’s just what you are.
Now, if you bring in Kevin Durant, it’s a completely different conversation.
Despite all the courting Durant will receive, it feels like he’ll stay in OKC but if teams are going to shell out their best to get Durant, who knows what can happen.
All we know is that this summer is going to be interesting.
