According to Shelburne, the potential issues have been patched up after the two superstars were backstage at a concert.

SNY reported this week that there are high-ranking members of the 76ers organization who feel strongly about talking to the Nets about a trade involving KD.

There could be some legs to the rumors that KD views Philly as a welcome landing spot.

Rich Kleiman, KD's business manager, said that KD requested a trade out of Brooklyn and the Nets agreed to work with him on a trade.

The Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns were both preferred trade destinations for KD.

There hasn't been any movement on those fronts, and there hasn't been any movement on the trade market.

Since the Suns matched the Pacers' offer sheet for center Deandre Ayton, they can't trade him until the season starts.

The Heat might be hesitant to mess with their depth or to trade away key players.

The Philadelphia 76ers would almost certainly have to part with a rising star at guard in Tyrese Maxey in order to land KD, but it could be worth it in order to have a superstars trio.

The Nets were knocked out in the second round of the playoffs in 2021, after they traded Harden to the 76ers, and then got swept in the first round.

Despite reaching the playoffs in each of the past five seasons, the 76ers have not gotten past the second round of the playoffs.

He is an all-time great who is a two-time NBA champion and two-time NBA Finals Most Valuable Player, and he is coming off a season in which he averaged 29.9 points per game.

If the 76ers could stay healthy, it would make them the scariest team in the Eastern Conference and a force to be reckoned with come playoffs.
