Clippers Likely Have No Chance at Kevin Durant Based on Offer the Suns are Rumored to Have Already Received

Now a new offer has been revealed that should just about eliminate the Clippers as a potential suitor for Durant.

Arizona Sports 98.7 FM's John Gambadoro recently said (via CGBBURNER on Twitter) an offer from the Toronto Raptors included Immanuel Quickley, R.J. Barrett, Jakob Poeltl, and the ninth pick in this year's draft.

If this is actually an offer the Raptors made to the Suns, the Clippers simply don't have the ammo to compete with an offer like that.

The best they can do is to offer a couple of later first rounders, a pick swap, and some veterans on expiring deals.

That doesn't come close to what the Raptors are giving up in that offer.

This deal would give the Suns three players they could immediately insert into their starting lineup. One of them is 26 and another is 25.

Then they'd also be getting a top-10 pick out of the deal, which they could use to add another player who could be a franchise cornerstone.

The only thing they could do to get themselves in the race would be to include Ivica Zubac in an offer, but it has already been reported that trading their starting center isn't something they are interested in doing.

If that is truly off the table, it seems fans are going to need to start hoping the Clippers can land a different star to turn the team into a contender.
