Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson offered up his favorite potential landing spots for Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant.

The LA Lakers need a center, and that's no secret, but they also need to replenish their wing depth with a two-way presence.

New York may be hesitant to move on from Towns after he helped lead the franchise to its first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since 2000. Ultimately, pairing a player as gifted as Durant (26.6 PPG in 2024-25) with reigning Clutch Player of the Year Brunson would be a worthy investment, even if it costs the Knicks two starters.

"Kevin Durant, that's an interesting piece," Johnson said on ESPN's 'Get Up'. "If I'm the Knicks, the Knicks are too slow. They're not going to beat Indiana next year or these other teams. They got to get a little faster, right? And to me, Kevin Durant will allow them to get faster and be a guy that can help [Jalen] Brunson in the fourth quarter."

One center who has been linked to the Lakers has reportedly signed a contract extension to stay with his current team.

Kevin Durant is expected to get traded this offseason, with the Houston Rockets one of the teams interested in the Phoenix Suns superstar.

Suns general manager Brian Gregory was asked Tuesday about moving forward without Durant, noting Ott was an assistant with the Brooklyn Nets during most of Durant’s time there.

On the latest episode of the Mind the Game podcast, LeBron James addressed long-standing criticisms of his offensive skill set, particularly the notion that he doesn’t have an elite “bag” of moves. James fired back with the strongest argument he could offer.
