- The Phoenix Suns are actively seeking to trade Kevin Durant ahead of the June 25, 2025 NBA Draft to secure a significant return for the franchise.
- The Suns previously acquired Durant at the 2023 trade deadline, giving up four first-round picks, a pick swap, Cam Johnson, and Mikal Bridges, setting a high trade value expectation.
- Durant, who will celebrate his 37th birthday in September, posted averages of 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, and just over 4 assists per game last season. He prefers to be traded to the Spurs, Rockets, or Heat, with plans to commit to long-term contracts with any of those teams.
