NBA insider Shams Charania has revealed that the Boston Celtics attempted to make a blockbuster trade for Kevin Durant back in 2022. The revelation, made during *The Pat McAfee Show*, has reignited speculation about whether Boston could revisit a similar deal this summer.

With reports emerging that the Phoenix Suns might explore trading Durant, the Celtics could be among the teams interested in acquiring the superstar forward. Boston has been a perennial title contender in recent years, and adding Durant to their core of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown could push them over the top.

The specifics of Boston’s previous trade attempt remain unclear, but the 2022 discussions likely centered around Brown as the centerpiece of a potential deal. At the time, Durant was with the Brooklyn Nets before eventually being traded to Phoenix in early 2023.

Now, with the Suns facing financial constraints and a lack of depth, the idea of moving Durant to retool their roster has gained traction. Whether the Celtics would be willing to part with key assets remains to be seen, but given their past interest, this is a situation to watch closely.
