The 33-year-old has four years and nearly $200 million remaining on his contract, which means a team might have to dig deep in their pockets to get him. ,However, an outfit has bid for the four-time scoring champion. The Boston Celtics have emerged as strong contender to acquire Durant, as per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. ,Also read: NFL GOAT Tom Brady gifts jersey to WNBA's Kelsey Plum with a message: Watch,Durant has played 14 seasons, not including one year when he sat out while recovering from a torn Achilles. He has averaged 27.2 points in his career — over that span, only LeBron James, at 27.3 points per game, has averaged more. The Nets star has three Olympic golds and two NBA titles against his name. ,As per the ESPN report, the Celtics are “no closer” to acquiring Durant than other teams in discussions with the Nets. However, the deal could work out if the package is centered around All-Star forward Jaylen Brown. ,Also read: Signing Josh Rosen, Cleveland Browns prepare for Deshaun Watson suspension,Boston, a team that has adamant on not trading Jayson Tatum, could put in as many as three unprotected first round picks (2025, 2027 and 2029) and two pick swaps (2024 and 2026) for the Durant deal to work, as per Wojnarowski. ,Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that the Celtics's package reportedly includes Jaylen Brown, reserve guard Derrick White and a draft pick.

Stephen Curry scored 34 points for the Warriors, who claimed the franchise's seventh championship overall. And this one completed a journey like none other, after a run of five consecutive finals, then a plummet to the bottom of the NBA, and now a return to greatness just two seasons after having the league's worst record. Also read: NBA Finals: Warriors create history with 21-0 haul against Celtics,For Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala, it's a fourth championship. The first three rings came in 2015, 2017 and 2018, when Golden State was dynastic and made five consecutive trips to the finals. Injuries, including ones that sidelined Thompson for 2 1/2 years, and roster changes changed everything. But this season, with Thompson returning around the midway point, the Warriors were finally back. Also read: NBA Finals: Stephen Curry resets 3-pointer streak with flawless shot,Back on top, too. Champions, again, denying the storied Celtics what would have been their record 18th championship, one that would have allowed Boston to break a tie with the Los Angeles Lakers for the most in league history. This tale for the Warriors ended much differently than what was their most recent finals appearance against Toronto in 2019, one that saw Kevin Durant tear his Achilles tendon in Game 5 and then Thompson tear his ACL in what became the Raptors' title-clincher in Game 6. Also read: NBA Finals: Ghosts of playoffs still haunt Boston Celtics,The aftermath of that loss was exacerbated by Durant's decision to leave that summer in free agency to join the Brooklyn Nets and Thompson's own Achilles injury while rehabilitating his knee injury. It thrust a Golden State team into a rebuild that became a reload. The Warriors used their two-year hiatus from the NBA's biggest stages to retool their roster – adding a past No. 1 draft pick in Andrew Wiggins, who excelled in his first finals, along with another rising star in Jordan Poole.

In spite of powering to a 3-1 lead, The Cavs would overhaul the deficit in spectacular fashion, breaking Cleveland's long-running sporting hoodoo!,In 2017, the two would meet again in the NBA Finals. This time Golden State had the measure of them, closing out the finals in 5 games. Draymond was explosive throughout, earning him the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year award, a first for a Golden State player. The Warriors would reach their fourth consecutive finals the year after, again squaring off against the Cavs. As the Warriors coasted to a 4-0 sweep in the finals, Green would cross off a personal landmark. In Game 3 of the finals, San-Francisco's adopted star would move past Chamberlain's record of most playoff rebounds for the Warriors!,As the Warriors began to establish themselves as the team of the decade, Green would star alongside Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant in the 2018-19 season. Marching to their fifth consecutive NBA final after blitzing Portland Trail Blazers 4-0 in the Western Conference final, Steve Kerr's side was eyeing a hat-trick of titles! Green was particularly vicious against the Trail Blazers, capping off with 18 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists in Game 4 of the Conference finals. However, the Raptors would stun them to clinch the NBA Finals 4-2. The forward was impressive nonetheless, posting his sixth triple-double of the post-season in their Game 6 defeat to the Raptors. In doing so, he would tie Magic Johnson for second-most triple-doubles in the post-season. Putting pen to paper on an even more lucrative contract in August 2019, Green chose to remain with the Golden State, turning down potentially more money. However, the Warriors would endure a slump, failing to make the playoffs in 2020 and 2021. Their overall failures aside, Green would tick off yet another personal milestone. Recording his 29th triple-double in a 123-108 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, he would push ahead of Michael Jordan in 17th place for career triple-doubles!,Also Read: NBA Finals preview: Warriors stand in the way of Celtics making history,After two years in the wilderness, Golden State has returned to the finals but faces a 2-1 deficit against the Boston Celtics. A two-time Olympic gold medalist, Draymond will have his eyes on the more prestigious silver and gold make crafted by Tiffany \u0026 Co.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"42.3601","longitude":"-71.0589","name":"Boston, MA, USA","city":"Boston"},"keywords":"Golden State,NBA,Game 3,Draymond,Steve Kerr's,Game 4,Cavs,Draymond Green's,Boston Celtics',Grant Williams,Boston,NBA Champion,NBA All-Star,Michigan State University,Spartans","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-09T14:50:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"5LFp48UcI4Jw","slug":"english/giannis-antetokounmpo-nikola-jokic-luka-doncic-devin-booker-and-jayson-tatum-on-all-nba-first-team","slugV2":"usa/giannis-antetokounmpo-nikola-jokic-luka-doncic-devin-booker-and-jayson-tatum-on-all-nba-first-team-151880/","title":"Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Devin Booker and Jayson Tatum on All-NBA first team","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_xlwhq1KyX.jpg","coverCaption":"Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Celtics guard had 22 in total. Brown's last quarter push ensured Boston Celtics rallied past Playoff rivals Brooklyn Nets, who had a 17-point lead at one point. Payton Pritchard also joined Brown in the last quarter stride, adding eight of his 10 in the final period. The game ended with a tally of 114-107.

Kyrie Irving, still reeling from a $50,000 fine for directing obscene gestures and profane language at Celtics fans during the first game, had just 10 points on 4-of-13 shooting. Game two of the NBA Playoffs between the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets never had an obvious winner, with both teams constantly catching up to their trails. Each quarter had a different winner, it seemed. Boston Celtics trailed the entire first half but finally caught up to tie it at 79 on a short jumper by Daniel Theis. The Nets were able to settle in and took a 90-85 edge to the final period. Boston Celtics tied it up again at 92 early in the fourth on a leaner by Jaylen Brown and took their first lead of the game with 7:48 left on a jumper by Payton Pritchard, according to reports from Associated Press.

Patty Mills sank a 3-pointer to put Brooklyn ahead for good at 107-106 with 7:23 left. Irving followed with two consecutive baskets to push the lead to 111-106 and Indiana never recovered. It came down to defense and effort, and second half was night and day to the first, Nash said. It took us getting in a deep hole before we showed them the respect the game and them the respect they deserved. Irving agreed that the comeback started on the defensive end. Brooklyn shot 56% overall while Indiana finished at 49%. We kept our composure and made shots when we needed to, said James Harden, who added 18 points. We got physical and challenged shots.

Harden added 10 rebounds and eight assists for the Nets, who played without Kevin Durant because of a right shoulder sprain. He was only 7 for 25 from the field, including 3 of 13 from 3-point range. “I probably had to do a little bit more as far as being aggressive, and I had a lot of good looks as far as layups, floaters,” Harden said. “They just didn’t go in.”,Patty Mills added 22 points and LaMarcus Aldridge had 11 of his 15 in the fourth quarter. ,Jalen Suggs scored 21, while Franz Wagner and Chuma Okeke each had 17 for the Magic. ,Also Read | NBA: Bucks build big lead, hang on to beat Thunder 96-89,“We’ve got to start coming out better in the second half of games, just play hard,” Okeke said. “I feel like that’s all it really is. Just play hard, play together. We could have come out with a win, but that’s something we can learn from and just build off of.”,The Nets trailed by 19 points in the second quarter, but ended the half on a 10-0 run. Harden scored the final five from the free throw line as Brooklyn reduced its halftime deficit to 62-53. ,Mills’ back-to-back 3-pointers gave the Nets a 73-70 lead with 7:15 to go in the third quarter. It was their first lead since the opening bucket of the game. ,“We were able to feed off some good energy,” Mills said. “In the second half we were able to get stops, get deflections and we ran down the other end like we were going downhill. We gained momentum and it became infectious throughout the whole group.” ,Also Read | NBA: Curry scores 20 points in 4th, Warriors beat Cavaliers 104-89,Orlando trailed 90-83 heading into the final quarter, but tied the game at 92 on Okeke’s 3-pointer. ,Neither team led by more than three until Harden’s two free throws with nine seconds remaining gave Brooklyn a 114-100 lead. After Suggs hit a layup, Harden went back to the line and made one along with his only miss of the game. ,Cole Anthony, who finished with 16 points, was fouled with 3 seconds left. After making the first, he missed the second intentionally. However, his attempt did not hit the rim and the Nets were given possession and ran out the clock. ,James Johnson finished with season highs of 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Nets. ,“Whatever it takes for us to win. That’s what I’m here for,” Johnson said. “Five minutes, 10 minutes, whatever it takes.”,Also Read | NBA: Butler has 32 points, Heat beat Wizards to open 2-game set,TIP-INS:,Magic: Orlando has started the same five players (Anthony, Mo Bamba, Wendell Carter Jr. Suggs, and Wagner) in every game this season except one. Gary Harris started in place of Suggs against the Hawks in Atlanta on November 15. Nets: DeAndre’ Bembry made his first start of season replacing Durant. … Joe Harris missed his third straight game with a left ankle sprain. Paul Millsap was also out of the lineup due to “personal reasons.”,GAME-TIME DECISION,Durant participated in warm-ups, but was held out of the game. “It’s been bothering him a bit and it’s time for him to rest,” coach Steve Nash said before the game. “For tonight, it hurts the team. But, it’s a decision we had to make. He now can get a few days to rest.” The Nets don’t play again until Monday in Cleveland. Durant, who leads the Nets and is second in the NBA with 28.6 ppg, played in all of the Nets’ first 16 games. ,NEW YORK STATE OF MIND,The Magic have played 31% of their games (5 of 16) this season against New York teams. They have already played the Knicks three times (2-1) and lost to the Nets twice. ,LONG-DISTANCE TURNAROUND,In the team’s first meeting of the season, a 33-point Brooklyn victory on Nov. 10, Orlando shot 4 of 33 from 3-point range. In Friday’s game, the Magic shot 6 of 10 in the first quarter. UP NEXT,Magic: Orlando travels to Milwaukee for consecutive games on Saturday and Monday.

Stephen Curry, the reigning West Conference Player of the Week, has been immaculate in his shooting and more importantly, his defensive contributions have allowed the likes of Gary Payton II and Daymond Green to surge forward into the box. Jordan Poole has shown his pre-season form wasn't just a flash in the pan as he continues to impress. But on Tuesday, the Warriors will face a massive challenge when they clash against a buffed up Brooklyn Nets lineup. ,The Nets (10-4) haven't set the NBA alight with their performances but their stacked-up lineup is enough to instil fear in opposition hearts. In their previous encounter, the Brooklyn side absolutely thrashed the Oklahoma Thunders and will be hoping to put on display more of the same. Also Read | Sky is the limit: Stephen Curry's college coach after 40-point show vs Chicago Bulls,The Warriors still own the best record in the league and carry the highest points differential of 13.23 but will now face the superstar duo of James Harden and Kevin Durant, the reigning Eastern Conference Player of the Week. ,Durant has been in fine form coming into the game. He has shot 65.2% from the field with a league-best 29.6 PPG. However, without Joe Harris, Paul Millsap, and Nic Claxton, Steve Nash's club is anticipated to be shorthanded. Harris' absence in this game might be key, since he has been crucial in terms of spacing and shooting. In Harris' absence, the Brooklyn Nets will have to pick up the burden.

While on one side there was LeBron James and Russell Westbrook, on the other bench were Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving. You won't see a better collection of benchwarmers in an NBA preseason game this season. ALSO READ | Philadelphia 76ers to block 25% of Ben Simmons salary due on Friday: Reports,Anthony Davis opened the scoring for the Lakers and made the first basket of the preseason. But James, Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony will all have to wait for at least one more game before getting starts. Brooklyn was without its Big Three, as well as starters Blake Griffin and Joe Harris, and newcomers Patty Mills and James Johnson, who all missed the game. Davis contributed six points in the first quarter. LaMarcus Aldridge made his Nets debut after returning to the organisation after retiring last season due to an abnormal heartbeat. In 15 minutes, he scored six points. Cam Thomas, a rookie, led the Nets with 21 points. Bruce Brown scored 12 points and ten boards, while veteran Paul Millsap, who joined the club in the offseason, had ten points and ten rebounds.

The Lakers were eliminated in the first round by Phoenix, with Davis playing only five minutes of the decider after missing the whole fifth game due to a groyne ailment. That's probably why Nets coach Steve Nash and Lakers coach Frank Vogel — whose club was in the NBA Finals just a year ago at this time — decided to hold off on playing their best players until after training camps started on Tuesday. Most teams will begin Monday on a nine-game night. ,With inputs from the Associated Press","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"NBA, Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Lakers, Preseason, game, match report, Nets win, Lakers lose, LaMarcus Aldridge,","originalPublishedOn":"2021-10-04T06:38:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"BzDWI2aH8ZlA","slug":"kevin-durant-reveals-what-led-him-to-leave-warriors","slugV2":"sports/kevin-durant-reveals-what-led-him-to-leave-warriors-231255/","title":"Kevin Durant reveals what led him to leave Golden State Warriors","postType":1,"coverMedia":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_2RkkyNCRR.jpg","coverCaption":"Kevin Durant and Draymond Green had an infamous argument at the beginning of the 2018-19 NBA season.
