Following the Phoenix Suns’ missing the playoffs in the 2024-25 NBA season, the buzz about Kevin Durant’s potential trade has really ramped up. NBA analysts have been throwing around all sorts of trade scenarios for the star player.
The Athletic’s Sam Amick, Jon Krawczynski, and Kelly Iko disclosed that Durant is eyeing the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets as his top trade spots. However, it seems the Suns might be reluctant to make a deal with the Rockets, even though that’s where Durant wants to go.
“Those familiar with Houston’s thinking have long stressed that the Rockets are exceedingly reluctant to try to expedite their climb up the Western Conference ladder by surrendering meaningful trade assets for a player who will turn 37 in September. It’s a long-held stance stemming from the fact that most of the Rockets’ most important players are under 25,” Via Jake Fischer.
