Kevin Durant Trade Talks Expand Ahead of NBA Draft

Kevin Durant is the focus of intensifying NBA trade discussions, with the Phoenix Suns reportedly open to moving the 36-year-old star after missing the playoffs and making major front office changes. Leading contenders for Durant include the Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, and Minnesota Timberwolves, all of whom have submitted final offers, while the Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers, San Antonio Spurs, and New York Knicks have also been linked as potential destinations. The 76ers are reportedly considering a major trade involving Paul George in pursuit of Durant. Durant, a 15-time All-Star and two-time Finals MVP who averaged 26.6 points last season, remains highly valued despite concerns about his age and injuries. The Magic are considered a possible fit due to their need for shooting. The resolution of these trade talks is expected before or during the upcoming NBA Draft.
