While the Suns suffered a sweep against the Timberwolves, the Lakers have just seen their season end in Denver. In this context conducive to large-scale movements, a trade idea which would see Kevin Durant join LeBron James in LA is stirring the web.
Both closer and closer to the end of their careers, they nevertheless remain in search of a new championship title. Kevin Durant et LeBron James in fact still display excessive ambition, although they are respectively 35 and 39 years old. It must be said that their level of play still seems very high and made their teams significant contenders for the Larry O’Brien trophy.
And yet, despite remarkable performances on an individual level, the two legends have already been eliminated from the playoffs. The Suns suffered a sweep against the Timberwolves, while the Lakers have just lost definitively against Denver in Game 5. It was enough for viral rumors to appear concerning the two franchises, including that of an XXL gathering in Los Angeles.
Suns and Lakers eliminated, a crazy reunion between KD and LeBron?

It therefore only took a few hours for this mock trade sending Durant to the Lakers to see the light of day. This could after all correspond to the Purple & Gold’s desire to offer as much help as possible to LeBron so that he obtains a final ring. At the same time, Phoenix would inherit future assets and Draft picks that they lack so much. That said, this proposal is not unanimous among Internet users:
Giving up to much for KD tf is this

It would be giving way too much to have KD, what the hell
You do this trade in a heart beat if you’re the Lakers. They can’t win rn anyway and getting KD while Keeping Reaves would be a huge dub

If you are the Lakers, you validate this trade without thinking. They can’t win as is anyway and getting KD back while retaining Reaves would be a huge power move
As it stands, it is still early to talk about trades. However, Internet users have not stopped imagining a transfer that would bring together Kevin Durant and LeBron James with the Lakers, even if many of them are opposed to this possibility.
