No team appears close to pulling off a trade for the Brooklyn Nets star, but that hasn’t stopped new teams from joining in on the fun.</p><p>It was reported earlier that the Memphis Grizzlies could end up being a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grizzlies-rumors-memphis-enters-kevin-durant-trade-sweepstakes-but-theres-catch/">dark horse suitor</a> for Durant given their war chest of draft picks and talented young players. But they apparently aren’t the only new entrants to the Durant sweepstakes. Reports have come out that the Milwaukee Bucks, Denver Nuggets, and Philadelphia 76ers have all expressed interest in acquiring Durant at one point this offseason.</p><p>“The Philadelphia 76ers expressed recent interest in Durant while the Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets also inquired with the Nets in late June and early July to gauge the price tag, according to sources,” <a href="https://theathletic.com/3526628/2022/08/22/kevin-durant-donovan-mitchell-trade-talk-shams/">Shams Charania of The Athletic</a> reported.</p><p>We already knew that Philadelphia had reached out to Brooklyn regarding Durant, so that isn’t very surprising. The more surprising piece is that the Bucks and Nuggets have reached out to the Nets to see what their asking price is for Durant.</p><p>Both the Bucks and Nuggets appear set to be title contenders for the 2022-23 season, so adding Durant would be a massive move for both squads. Whether they have the assets to pull off such a deal remains to be seen, but they are both teams worth paying attention to as the Kevin Durant trade saga drags on.</p><p>Neither team appears to be close to acquiring Durant right now, which isn’t necessarily surprising. But as more and more teams join in on the Durant sweepstakes, it increases the likelihood that a blockbuster deal will be reached sooner rather than later.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Definitely.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>At this point in the offseason, Carmelo Anthony’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-la-outlook-on-carmelo-anthony-future-amid-free-agency-rumors-per-nba-insiders/">future</a> in the NBA remains uncertain. The 38-year-old has yet to secure a new deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, and it seems that LA isn’t all too interested in extending Melo’s one-year tenure in Hollywood.</p><p>Be that as it may, there still appears to be some interest in Anthony in the market. According to NBA insider <a href="https://hoopswire.com/west-notes-suns-chris-paul-timberwolves-nuggets/">Sam Amico of Hoops Wire</a>, one of his former teams could be looking at a possible reunion with Melo. That team is the same side that drafted him as the No. 3 overall pick in 2003, the Denver Nuggets:</p><blockquote>Speculation around the league is that the Nuggets could potentially look into signing Carmelo Anthony, an unrestricted free agent. For now, though, it’s mere speculation, sources told Hoops Wire.</blockquote><p>Melo’s exit from the Nuggets was not exactly on the best of terms, but there’s also no denying that he remains to be one of the most iconic figures in the history of the franchise. Moreover, it has been more than a decade since Melo left Denver to join the New York Knicks, and at this point, it just feels like this whole issue has been put to bed.</p><p>Carmelo Anthony spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Nuggets. During that time, he established himself as a real star in the league as he put up averages of <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/anthoca01.html">24.8 points</a>, 6.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.1 steals in 36.4 minutes per game.</p><p>Time is running out on Melo and I guess it would only be fitting if he retired as a Nugget.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
