The Phoenix Suns are in serious conversation about Kevin Durant’s trade, and according to The Stein Line, a deal could come together as early as next week. Around the league, Durant’s name is being viewed as the biggest domino of the NBA offseason, with teams watching closely to see where the 15-time All-Star might land.
Durant spent the past week with the Los Angeles Lakers while the Suns made key moves behind the scenes. On Tuesday, they introduced Jordan Ott as their new head coach, wrapping up a coaching search led by new general manager Brian Gregory. With the front office settled, the Suns focused on completing a Durant trade. According to insiders, most plans have been in place for weeks.
League sources say the Suns were always likely to explore a Durant trade once the coaching hire remained finalized. With conversations heating up and multiple teams checking in, the Phoenix Suns are aiming to get the best possible return. While there is no deal in place yet, the outlines of what the Suns want are becoming clearer.
Phoenix Suns Eyeing To Add At Least One All-Star Player
The Suns seek a potent mix of win-now talent and future assets. Sources say they are asking for at least one All-Star player who can step in right away, along with multiple first-round draft picks. They also want to improve their cap flexibility as they reset the roster in a new direction.
This approach shows Phoenix wants to stay competitive without completely rebuilding. With Kevin Durant still performing at a high level, the Suns believe they can demand a strong package in return. As discussions continue through the weekend, teams across the league prepare for a significant move that could shift the balance of power, starting with the Suns and ending with Durant in a new uniform.
