"It is just not true because of his age and injury history!" - NBA analyst on Kevin Durant not being the most valuable trade asset, names 2 players who had better value than him

Kevin Durant has been a regular feature in the headlines since requesting a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. There are a few teams in the mix to onboard the 33-year-old, but nothing significant has transpired since last week.

NBA analyst Nick Wright believes Durant, despite his ability on the court, is not the most valuable trade asset in the league. Wright has offered some hot takes since KD's trade request, but this one might be right up among the very best. Speaking about the two-time champ on "First Things First," he said:

"Folks keep saying that Kevin Durant's the most valuable trade asset in NBA history like he'll be the best player ever traded. But it is just not true because of his age and his injury history. They are talking that they will get the biggest haul that anyone's ever gotten for a player in modern NBA history."

Nick Wright also said that Anthony Davis and Paul George were two players who had more trade value than KD. Both of these stars were traded before they turned 30. However, Durant is on a completely different list altogether when compared to Davis and George.

Any franchise that brings him in becomes an instant favorite to win it all. The Nets are adamant that they want a monumental deal for their star forward. Whether they get that or not is a big question. But the franchise is in no hurry and is ready to wait until they find the right deal.

Does Kevin Durant deserve to get the best haul for any player in NBA history?

KD's two preferred destinations are the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat. For the Nets to crack a deal with either of these teams is difficult because of a lack of resources. Even if they were to come to a consensus on a deal, there are doubts about what the team will have left after onboarding KD.

Aged 33, there is no doubt that he still has a lot left in his tank. However, in the past few years, he has had injury problems that have kept him out of the game for months. The former MVP is a proven performer in the playoffs, which is why teams would risk that and trade for him.

However, in exchange, the Nets' ask for All-Stars and multiple first-round picks has not been taken well by many teams. The team from Brooklyn has certainly taken inspiration from what the Minnesota Timberwolves offered for Rudy Gobert.

KD definitely deserves more than that because of what he has done in the league. But trade deals can be tricky, and there is no certainty that the Nets will get what they want for Durant.
