The KD Sweepstakes Explained

After a disappointing 36–46 season and just one playoff series win during Durant’s 2½-year tenure, the Suns have engaged in serious trade discussions with multiple teams. The Heat, Spurs, Timberwolves, and Raptors have emerged as potential suitors for Durant.

As the weeks have progressed, the Phoenix Suns’ asking price for KD has continued to lower. So far, few teams have proposed a legitimate deal to the Suns.

KD has expressed the most interest in the Spurs and has options in Houston and Miami, but Phoenix's trade price continues to be a major hurdle. With draft picks on the table, teams like Toronto and Minnesota are getting involved—but age, contract length, asset cost, and durability remain big question marks. Don’t be surprised if a deal happens anytime before or during the draft. It can go any direction, but it’s far from done.
