Celtics gain insight into Kevin Durant's potential trade value

The Boston Celtics have improved their understanding of what it may take to acquire Kevin Durant from the Houston Rockets. NBA executives believe the Rockets are unlikely to receive a trade package comparable to what the Phoenix Suns received in the past. With Durant set to turn 38 soon and having issues off the court, his value is perceived to be limited to a first-round pick. Despite his strong performance last season, Durant's contract and age create complications for potential trades. Although the Celtics have shown past interest in Durant, discussions about a trade have not been active recently.
