According to Amico Hoops, the Lakers, Mavericks, Spurs, and Heat are expected to pursue Kevin Durant in the offseason. The Phoenix Suns listened to offers for Durant ahead of the trade deadline, but they elected to keep him on their roster through the end of the season.
The Phoenix Suns’ small forward Kevin Durant will be 37 years old at the start of next season and will be on an expiring contract. They might not get that for Durant due to his age but trading him would allow Phoenix to build around shooting guard Devin Booker properly.
Lakers and KD Trade Rumors
The Lakers always go for every superstar but there is little chance that Durant would want to come to L.A. There is just no way you can build a team with three max players with minimum players.
They would have to give up all of their depth, including shooting guard Austin Reaves and small forward Rui Hachimura, to get the salaries to match 36-year-old KD. If the Lakers get Durant, that would be an unstoppable big three.
Mavs Trade Rumors For KD
The Mavericks are reportedly interested in trading for Kevin Durant this offseason and adding him with point guard Kyrie Irving and center Anthony Davis. Kyrie, AD, Klay, and KD would be good enough for a championship.
Kyrie Irving will not be playing at the start of next season due to tearing an ACL, making the Mavericks push for a Kevin Durant trade even harder in the summer. They were teammates on the Brooklyn Nets.
Heat Trade Rumors For KD
The Miami Heat are expected to pursue Kevin Durant during this upcoming offseason. Each of the Heat and Durant rumors have circled back on each other several times over the years, and there has been apparent mutual interest building up.
Spurs Trade Rumors For KD
The San Antonio Spurs are expected to pursue a Kevin Durant trade this offseason. Shooting guard DeAaron Fox, center Victor Wembanyama, and small forward Kevin Durant on the same team would be a legit championship contender.
I think any possible pursuit depends on the Spurs’ draft picks. As great as Kevin Durant is, I cannot see the Spurs giving up a lot of young players and picks when their timeline for greatness could be 10-plus years with Wemby, Fox, Stephon Castle, Jeremy Sochan, Keldon Johnson, and small forward Devin Vassell.
