NBA Trade Rumors: Suns Are Gradually Lowering Their Kevin Durant Asking Price

  • The Phoenix Suns are aggressively pursuing a trade of Kevin Durant in 2025 and have been in ongoing talks with the Houston Rockets about a potential deal involving Durant and draft picks.
  • This trade endeavor comes after a failed attempt at the 2024 deadline, during which the Suns initially sought multiple early draft selections and a promising player in exchange for Durant.
  • Kevin Durant, a 36-year-old former two-time NBA champion, demonstrated his elite scoring and all-around ability this season by posting averages of approximately 27 points, six rebounds, and over four assists per game while shooting efficiently from the field, three-point range, and the free-throw line. However, concerns remain among potential suitors due to his history of injuries and advancing age.
  • Kelly Iko of The Athletic reported that the Suns have been steadily reducing their demands to reacquire full ownership of their draft assets, beginning with the No. 10 selection, while the Rockets remain hesitant to part with young talent for an older veteran player.
  • Although uncertainty persists about whether a trade will happen due to pricing and roster challenges, ongoing interest indicates the Suns are likely to receive substantial offers, and the reduced asking price may invite multiple teams beyond Houston to enter negotiations.
