NBA World Responds as 3 Kevin Durant Finalists Emerge in Suns Trade Sweepstakes originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Early Friday, Brian Windhorst and Tim Bontemps of ESPN reported that the 15-time All-Star Phoenix Suns power forward could land on a new team by the June 25 start of the 2025 NBA Draft.

It's being reported that the Phoenix Suns are widely expected to trade Kevin Durant in the coming weeks, and per reports, his preferred team is the San Antonio Spurs.

League sources continue to cite the Pelicans as a team aggressively looking to move up in the draft, with most front-office executives believing Bailey is the target of new general manager Joe Dumars. That’s why we’re mocking a trade here for this week’s mock, with Herb Jones and a low-value first in 2026 via the Pacers to move up four spots.
