Suns Prepare to Trade Kevin Durant This Summer

The Phoenix Suns are reportedly preparing to trade Kevin Durant this offseason, seeking three first-round picks and a young player in return, potentially involving a multi-team deal to alleviate financial burdens. Despite Durant's initial reluctance to move, multiple teams, including the Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks, and Houston Rockets, are interested in acquiring him as he remains a top-performing player in the NBA. The Suns, who do not control their first-round picks until 2032, aim to navigate under the second tax apron to manage their financial situation. Meanwhile, the Mavericks consider a trade for Durant as an opportunity to rebuild, but it could reduce their team depth, a challenge the Suns currently face with their star trio. The situation is dynamic, with potential changes hinging on the Suns' playoff performance.
