The Kevin Durant trade market is heating up, and he has narrowed down his list of preferred landing spots. The Suns are reportedly working with Kevin Durant to find his next destination, but are not beholden to Durant’s requests either. At the beginning of the Durant sweepstakes, there were six known teams in the mix for landing the aging’ superstar's talents. But, there were also about half a dozen other teams that were not named but had shown interest.
Durant is on an expiring $54.7 million deal for 2025-26, and the Suns have made clear to six-to-eight seriously interested teams that they will make the best deal for the franchise – even outside of his preferred list of Miami, San Antonio and Houston.
