Trade idea sends Kevin Durant to Boston for White-led package

A hypothetical deal would send Kevin Durant from Houston to Boston in exchange for Derrick White, Sam Hauser, Luke Garza and two future draft picks. The idea would pair Durant with Jayson Tatum and Paul George while keeping Payton Pritchard as the point guard.

Houston would get a veteran leader in White, who has a long history with Rockets coach Ime Udoka, plus a shooter in Hauser and two picks. No trade has been agreed and this is a speculative proposal with no sourcing attached.
