8. Philadelphia 76ers
Potential tradable assets: Tyrese Maxey, Matisse Thybulle, Tobias Harris, Jaden Springer, Paul Reed, 2029 first-round draft pick, pick swaps
The Philadelphia 76ers seem like a natural fit for Kevin Durant, assuming that he wouldn’t have an issue playing with James Harden again. Joel Embiid is one of the best bigs in the game and has the competitive drive that rivals Durant’s.
Plus, the Sixers have a bright young star that should interest Brooklyn in Tyrese Maxey. Philly also has a couple of other young prospects that would work if the Nets were interested in loading the developmental system.
Again, one thing that really holds the Sixers back is the fact that they would have to get creative in finding enough draft capital that would entice the Nets to seriously consider an offer that they would be able to put together.
