Report: Suns weighing Kevin Durant trade options

The Phoenix Suns are actively working with Kevin Durant's business partner to weigh trade options, ESPN reported Wednesday.

The Suns and Boardroom CEO Rich Kleiman have met "multiple times" in the past week to discuss potential destinations for the future Hall of Famer, per the report.

Teams that have reportedly expressed interest in the 36-year-old forward include the Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs, although the report indicated that "several wild-card suitors" have recently entered the conversation.

Durant is due to earn $54.7 million in 2025-26. If he is traded, the 15-time All-Star becomes eligible to sign a two-year extension worth up to $112 million in July.

The Suns finished 36-46 this season despite having the highest payroll in NBA history, leading to the firing of head coach Mike Budenholzer and a demotion for general manager James Jones.

A two-time NBA champion and four-time scoring champion, Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 62 games (all starts) in 2024-25.
