The Clippers last chance? US media showed simulated transactions: The Clippers exchanged 5 for 1 and got KD, and then formed the three giants to win the championship?

On May 12, 2025, the NBA playoffs are in full swing, and teams that have not entered the playoffs or have been eliminated in the playoffs have begun to prepare for next season. The Suns will inevitably have big deals during the offseason, and Durant's departure seems to be a foregone conclusion, and the Clippers' performance this season is unsatisfactory, so it seems natural to make a deal.

So the US media Fadeaway World also simulated a deal, with the Clippers sending Powell, Jones Jr., Bogdanovic, the second round pick in 2026 and the first round pick in 2031, and the transaction was Durant. This deal seems very beneficial to the Clippers, but it is basically unlikely to achieve it.

If this deal can be reached, the Clippers will form a three-part combination of Durant + Harden + Leonard to strive for the championship again. These three players, coupled with some excellent role players, are really worth looking forward to in the new season. But if this lineup can be really achieved, there is also the biggest problem, that is, the health problems of Durant and Leonard.

You should know that if the Suns want to trade Durant, they must want to win outstanding young players and more draft picks. The Suns' five chips are not particularly attractive except for one first-round pick, so it is really difficult to reach this deal.
