Kevin Durant exerted tremendous effort throughout the 2024-25 NBA season in an attempt to lead the Phoenix Suns to a coveted playoff position. Unfortunately, the team’s campaign did not meet expectations, as they concluded the regular season in 11th place with a disappointing record of 36-46. Consequently, rumours regarding a potential trade involving Durant started to gain traction.
Trade discussions involving Durant are intensifying, with various NBA analysts suggesting intriguing scenarios. As these developments unfold, speculation about Durant’s potential departure is growing, especially with the 2025 NBA Draft approaching. Recently, Bill Simmons made a shocking declaration regarding a potential trade involving Durant.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if KD to the Spurs is done already and they just haven’t announced it. Basically, they’ve agreed on specifics, just announce it on the week of the draft. This goes back to the Giannis thing. I think they trade for KD because it just costs less. They’ll be able to be real competitive and maybe go a couple of rounds in the playoffs, but they’re also going to keep the No. 2 pick and do it that way, which is my prediction,” Simmons said on “The Bill Simmons Podcast.”
