Chad Ochocinco sparking NBA rumors?
The former NFL star wide receiver and current podcast co-host of Shannon Sharpe has sparked a massive NBA trade rumor that could shake up both the Western and Eastern conferences.
On his latest pod, Chad Ochocinco says he has spoke with KD and he wants to be in Miami “if it made sense”. KD had Phoenix and Miami as his top two destinations when he requested a trade from Brooklyn. KD was in Miami this weekend and spoke with Jimmy Butler
The Phoenix Suns debut season with their own big three of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal was incredibly disappointing as they earned the sixth seed in the Western Conference and were swept by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the playoffs.
The Miami Heat are also going to be looking to make some changes after securing the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference and losing to the Boston Celtics in five games.
It’s very possible that the Heat love the idea of forming their own big three of Jimmy Butler, Kevin Durant, and Bam Adebayo, but it remains to be seen if the Suns are willing to give up on the Durant-Booker-Beal trio after just one season.
Something else to consider is that Durant will be 36 years old by the time the 2024-25 NBA season tips off.
