San Antonio and Houston — and to a lesser extent both the LA Clippers and Toronto — have also been frequently mentioned by executives throughout the league as teams with varying degrees of interest in trading for Kevin Durant. It’s extensively presumed, moreover, that touchdown with the Spurs or Rockets in Texas is very interesting to the participant himself.

If I’m Phoenix I’m not buying and selling Durant till these Finals are over. I should be SURE OKC isn’t in the event that they lose this sequence since they’ve a lot extra to commerce than anybody else.
I don’t assume they’d do it and I don’t assume KD would need it. Would simply should be positive. – 9:48 PM

I’m not saying I’m towards the Timberwolves freely giving Rudy Gobert in a Kevin Durant commerce. I simply need to know what their plan for safeguarding the basket goes to be as a result of neither Randle nor Naz are viable defensive facilities. – 2:30 PM

Extra on this storyline
Stefan Bondy of The New York Submit first reported earlier this week that the Knicks are usually not actively pursuing Durant, both. I’ve been skeptical of New York’s involvement all along … or skeptical, more specifically, that the Knicks could construct a deal for Durant that makes sense. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 14, 2025
Sources say they would prefer to bring in starting-level talent to fortify their rotation around Booker for subsequent season and maybe even attempt to flip any draft capital acquired within the eventual Durant deal into extra win-now expertise. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 14, 2025
