Kevin Durant Seeks Trade to Miami Heat, Spurs, Rockets

Kevin Durant, currently with the Phoenix Suns, is seeking a trade and has identified three preferred teams: the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, and Houston Rockets, all located in states with no state income tax. Durant is on an expiring $54.7 million contract for the 2025-26 season and is expected to sign a two-year, $122 million extension with whichever team acquires him. While the Suns are open to trading him to other teams if a better deal arises, Durant reportedly intends to commit long-term to one of his preferred teams. Additionally, rumors link Durant to the Minnesota Timberwolves, a consistent playoff contender, though sources suggest this possibility is less certain. Durant, a two-time NBA champion and 15-time All-Star, averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists this season, but has experienced playoff struggles since leaving Golden State. The trade is anticipated to be a significant offseason move, with Durant set to join his fifth NBA team next season.
