Brooklyn has plenty of leverage, so don't expect KD or the Celtics to get their way. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: The trade market for Kevin Durant has cooled significantly, so what does it mean for Brooklyn and Boston? ... Jerry Jones stands by his decision to keep Mike McCarthy ... and more! The Kevin Durant trade market hasn't heated up into the kind of frenzy some expected, largely because the Brooklyn Nets have willingly chilled it by making it clear they want nothing short of a record-breaking haul in return. Reports that followed Durant's trade request four weeks ago claimed that well over half of the league's 30 teams had made some sort of inquiry, yet here we sit at the end of July with none of them having given the Nets any genuine impetus for transactional movement. The more things move on, the more it seems there is one potential suitor, and probably only one, left in the running: The Boston Celtics. Durant is not talking much right now. On Tuesday, he resisted all interview attempts at the premiere of the hoops documentary "NYC Point Gods," which he produced in his latest foray into film and sports media. However, Durant has made his feelings so publicly clear on many topics over the years that we can probably make a reasonable assumption about his views right now. The prospect of pairing with Jayson Tatum – as it would almost certainly need to be Jaylen Brown as the central corresponding piece to a Brooklyn/Boston arrangement – would surely be met with positive vibes. The pair have shown admiration for each other’s game and you don’t need to be much of a tactical connoisseur to see how the offensive skills of each could create opportunistic space for the other. "Obviously he’s a great player," Tatum told reporters at the "NYC Point Gods" event. "But that’s not my decision. I love our team. I love the guys we’ve got." Moving to Boston would put Durant in the middle of a team that appears certain to be a contender, the Celtics having come within two wins of landing the franchise’s 18th title before falling short against the Golden State Warriors. A legitimate shot at a third ring would have inherent appeal. Yet Durant is also as aware as anyone of the optics. He lives on social media and isn’t afraid to comment and criticize media reports that don’t fit with his viewpoint.

Texas A&M to win SEC: +1600 From FOX Betting Analyst Geoff Schwartz: Texas A&M is the only team in this conference that has a chance this season to upend either Alabama or Georgia for the SEC title. If the Aggies can figure out the quarterback situation, they can ride their talented roster to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game. Texas A&M's defense finished seventh in the country last season, and the Aggies have a championship-winning coach running the ship. Remember, this team beat 'Bama in the regular season last year. That huge victory should give them confidence this season that they can actually win the whole conference. In the offseason, confidence is an excellent motivator. Aggies are my sleeper team in the conference. For the latest betting odds, [click here](. [FOLLOW FOX SPORTS] [Twitter]( [Facebook]( [YouTube]( [Instagram]( Download FOX Sports App: [Fire TV](
