Kevin Durant: Weight and height| Trade to warriors| Brother
Weight and Height:
Height 6′ 10″, Weight 240 lbs
He left the NBA Finals listed at 205 and arrived in Japan weighing 229 lbs. KD, on the other hand, mysteriously lost weight – he’s listed at 240 on NBA’s official measurements, and Team USA had him at 225 lbs.
Kevin Durant has a vertical leap jump ability of 33.5 inches, which is less than Steph Curry’s, but once you factor in his height and wingspan, you are left with an impressive force on offense and defense.
Trade to Warriors:
The trade market for superstars tends to be fairly small. They often use their status and contracts to exert an enormous amount of control over their destinations, and most of the time, they’ve settled on one or two preferred homes before negotiations even begin.
A true bidding war through the entire NBA for a single star is exceedingly rarer. Even rarer is the sort of star who could genuinely fit onto any team.
Brother:
This Instagram fiasco (as well as the issues surrounding the OTHER Nets star) have many fans speculating a potential Damian Lillard-Kevin Durant teamup.
However, at least one person close to KD feels that isn’t happening: his own brother. Tony Durant chimed in on an Instagram post and simply said no to the idea of his brother Kevin joining the Blazers.
