With all the trade rumors surrounding Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant, there is now a reported timetable for when a deal could happen, and it might be sooner than fans would have thought. As there have been five featured teams gunning for the Suns forward in Durant, it seems as if he will be joining his fifth team, even before the NBA Draft. This reporting is coming from Phoenix insider John Gambadoro, who said flat out that he expects Durant to be dealt “next week” from the team. He would say this on the “Burns and Gambo” show, where he would be asked about what he’s heard on the situation with Durant, which led to this shocking turn of events. “I expect Kevin Durant will be traded from the Phoenix Suns next week,” Gambadoro said. “There’s a lot of stuff out there. Some of it’s accurate, a lot of it is not accurate. We’ve said it all along that he will be traded by the draft. Outside shot that something happens sooner. But I’m gonna say that next week, my expectations are Kevin Durant is traded.”

More on this storyline
It’s also reported that some of Cooper’s pre-draft prep has involved Chris Paul and Kevin Durant being at the facility. Is that true? MacKenzie: “Yeah, Chris Paul and Kevin Durant have been inside the facility. It’s been nice to see how those guys work, and they’ve been really receptive and great about being available to answer questions. They’ve been able to share some of their different strategies in terms of their preparation. Being able to see Kevin Durant work out and then talk to Chris Paul off the court has been very valuable. For Cooper, it’s all about being able to find the right mentors and the right players who have done it before him, so he can continue to take bits and pieces of what has made others successful and allow that to continue to shape him.” -via Responsible Gaming / June 13, 2025
One additional team to monitor, sources said, is the Clippers, who have the contracts to make another move to augment the roster around Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, presuming the latter either opts into his contract or signs a new deal this offseason. Multiple league sources said they were skeptical the price for Durant in a trade would get to a place where Phoenix would be satisfied with it. What does seem clear is that this saga could easily be wrapped up on, or by, draft night on June 25. And with the weak free agent class and the lack of teams with cap space, one source said this year’s draft could easily wind up being an even busier night than normal — and it could be the high point of activity this summer. -via ESPN / June 13, 2025
Bill Simmons: And what they’re telling people is that they have a couple of major stars that are going to be joining—ones that will be jaw-dropping. And it’s pretty clear—because Maverick Carter is running this, or is one of the people involved in pushing it—that he’s dangling LeBron as one of the people who will do it. Could it be Kevin Durant? My guess is it’s probably older, famous superstars nearing the end of their careers, who are just going to do it for a bunch of money—probably equity in the league. -via YouTube / June 13, 2025
