Entering the 2025 NBA offseason, Kevin Durant is once again the headliner in trade discussions.

Latest rumours
- Durant can't exactly dictate where he might be traded, but he can still voice his opinion on the matter. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Durant has identified the Heat, Rockets and Spurs as his "preferred trade destinations." It's believed that any of those teams would commit to Durant beyond the 2025-26 season.
- On June 17, reporter Marc Stein told Sportsnet that the Suns are "trying to get back as much as they can" in dealing Durant. That might seem obvious in any trade scenario, but it also means they may not simply send him to one of his preferred spots. Durant is signed for the upcoming season at a cap hit of $57.4 million.
- The Timberwolves are among the teams with the shortest odds to land Durant. But team sources told The Athletic that they aren't interested in adding him unless he's on board with the move.
- On June 16, The Athletic reported that the Rockets have presented the Suns with a "firm offer," but that Phoenix was "seriously underwhelmed" by it. The Spurs, meanwhile, have reportedly been conservative in Durant discussions.
Raptors odds to sign Durant
It worked with Kawhi Leonard ... could it work again?
Leonard was dealt to the Raptors ahead of their storybook 2018-19 season, and the free-agent-to-be was the superstar Toronto needed to achieve its championship dreams.
He bolted for Los Angeles shortly thereafter, but that's a price worth paying when the result is an NBA title.
There's no indication that Durant wants to play for Toronto, so acquiring him would likely be a one-and-done deal, too.
Durant had remarkable shooting splits in his age-36 season (52.7/43.0/83.9), but are the Raptors one major piece away from NBA Finals contention?
Coming off a 30-win season that landed the team in the lottery, it doesn't seem that way. This might be more of a long shot than the 12-to-1 odds indicate.
Heat, Rockets favoured to acquire Durant
Unsurprisingly, Durant's reportedly preferred landing spots have the shortest odds to reel in the four-time scoring champ.
That's because those are the only teams that can confidently expect to negotiate with Durant beyond the 2025-26 season.
- Houston's intrigue starts with the fact that it owns some pretty important Phoenix draft capital. The Rockets have the Suns' 2025 first (No. 10), 2027 first and swap rights to their 2029 first.
From a player standpoint, Jalen Green could be a feasible headliner. Rising sophomore Reed Sheppard, meanwhile, is an intriguing asset whose opportunities were limited by the Rockets' deep lineup.
- After back-to-back first-round exits following their 2023 run to the NBA Finals, Miami might feel that Durant can put the team back into legitimate contender status. Remember, the Eastern Conference is in flux in the wake of Jayson Tatum's injury and Giannis Antetokounmpo's trade rumours.
The question is whether Miami can assemble a package that entices Phoenix, given that the Heat have minimal draft picks. Kel'el Ware had an encouraging rookie season, so maybe he'd be in the mix.
- Let's not forget about San Antonio, a team any player should want to play for now that Victor Wembanyama is rounding into superstar form. Also, Durant played his college ball less than two hours up the road in Austin.
The Spurs already made a timeline-advancing trade this past season by acquiring De'Aaron Fox, so maybe they decide to keep their foot on the gas. With two top-15 picks in the 2025 draft and nine extra second-rounders between 2026-31, there's a lot of draft capital to play with. Not to mention guys like Jeremy Sochan and Keldon Johnson who can contribute for the Suns right away.
