Suns are expected to trade before the draft: actively pushing for trade, contacting the Rockets many times and actively reducing prices

There are many rumors about Durant's trading. Many reporters reported that the Suns are actively trying to trade Durant. Recently, they have actively contacted the Rockets, hoping to exchange Durant for draft assets. The transaction is expected to be completed before the draft.

Rockets reporter Kelly Iko reported that the source revealed that the Suns have recently contacted the Houston Rockets many times, trying to trade Durant to regain their draft assets, and will use the Rockets' No. 10 pick this year as the starting point; it is reported that the Suns have gradually lowered their asking price for Durant during the call to the Rockets; the Rockets are a little moved but are still worried about Durant's age and injury history.

Suns reporter John Gambadoro said on the show that the Suns are actively trying to trade Durant and KD is expected to be sent away before the draft; everyone should pay close attention to the Spurs. The Spurs may be one of Kevin Durant's next favorites, and the Spurs have the ability to provide an attractive trade offer to meet the Phoenix Suns' trading needs for young potential rookies and draft assets.

The 2025 NBA Draft will be held at the Barclays Center, the home court of the Brooklyn Nets in the United States from June 25 to 26, which means Durant may be traded before June 25.

reporter Sam Amico reported that the Hawks have discussed the possibility of trading Durant; NBA reporter Matt Moore reported that in all transaction negotiations about Durant, the Suns will give priority to getting a center player. In any relevant negotiations, getting a center player is something that the Suns value more. Kevin Durant has the possibility of staying, but the Suns still want to solve the team's center problem. Since the Suns traded DeAndre Ayton, the center problem has become a disaster for the team.

NBA reporter Cris Davis previously reported that the Suns wanted to trade Durant for Towns, and they were very interested in the combination of Towns + Booker.

In addition, according to previous reports, the Warriors will not pursue Durant this summer, and the Timberwolves are expected to pursue Durant again. They had pursued Durant seriously before the end of this year's trading date, but in the end they failed to reach a deal with the Suns.

Durant is likely to have finished the last game of his Suns' career. This season, he played 62 regular season games for the Suns, averaging 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, and his annual salary next season is $53.28 million.
