NBA rule is making a prospective Kevin Durant trade more complicated for the Nets

  • The NBA prohibits teams from trading for two players who have signed Designated Rookie extensions.
  • The rule means the Nets can't acquire 13 players in a possible trade for Kevin Durant because they have Ben Simmons, who is on a Designated Rookie extension.
  • The obscure rule will make a Durant trade more complicated for the Nets.

The rule is now making it more complicated for Brooklyn to find trade partners. The Heat, for example, cannot send Bam Adebayo to Brooklyn for Durant because the 6-foot-9 big man signed a Designated Rookie extension with Miami. Meanwhile, the Suns also cannot include Devin Booker in a trade with the Nets. Booker just signed an extension on Thursday, which means he can't be traded for a year, anyway.

Crazy but Grant, Smart, Al and picks work???

Thinking Danny may be jumping on this and offering all the picks he just got from Minnesota for him to team him with Mitchell? Atlanta may be after him but could be under the same with Collins?
