Shams: Four to six teams seriously interested in Kevin Durant trade

With their coaching hire set, the Suns now begin the franchise’s offseason of changes to the roster. The Suns will work with All-Star forward Kevin Durant and his business partner and Boardroom CEO, Rich Kleiman, on his next landing spot and he is expected to have a robust market of approximately four-to-six teams this offseason, sources said. -via x.com / June 4, 2025

John Gambadoro: The team that I heard last night in speaking to somebody pretty close to the situation with KD, is keep your eye on the Spurs. KD could have some interest in the Spurs, that may be a good landing spot for him with Fox and Wemby an up and coming team on the rise, that has a great defensive anchor on their team, and a terrific young player in Stephon Castle. (…) What could the Suns get? You might have to take Harrison Barnes back to make it work but you could get Devin Vassel, who is a very young player (…) I expect that a KD deal would happen right before the draft, because you want to include draft capital in the deal, so a KD trade would come up this month sometime before the draft, probably close to the draft if it’s gonna happen. -via YouTube / June 4, 2025

Phoenix is aggressive in pursuit of a) trading Kevin Durant and b) regaining full control of their draft capital starting with the No. 10 pick in next month’s draft, team sources said. Since the conclusion of the season, Houston has fielded several calls from Phoenix, who have since gradually lowered their asking price for Durant, those sources said. There is a price where the Rockets would be interested, but with a fear of breaking up their roster for a 36-year-old coming off injury, doubt remains over a deal materializing. -via New York Times / June 3, 2025
