The 2022 NBA offseason started with some big rumors regarding some players that can make big differences for any team (except their current ones). We've heard many trade rumors regarding a variety of stars that could shake the league, and they won't stop anytime soon.
Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook and Donovan Mitchell have all been linked with a move away from their respective teams, but so far, no move has been completed. It looks very difficult to see them playing on different teams now, which has opened the door for more speculation and rumors regarding these four stars.
NBA fans always have interesting inputs on these situations, and recently, a reporter from Instagram page Buckets some people around the office where they think Durant, Irving, Westbrook and Mitchell should play next. As usual, some fans used this opportunity to blast players, while others gave a more serious opinion on which team is the most appealing to them.
