Fast forward to the transaction⏩️Famous reporter: Durant is expected to be traded in the next few weeks

June 10th ESPN reporter Brian Windhorst said Durant will be traded in the next few weeks.

It is reported that the Knicks will be one of the teams pursuing Durant. According to previous reports, the Spurs and the Clippers and other teams are interested in Durant.

Digital sources said that this year's offseason, Durant is expected to have a strong market this year, with about 4 to 6 teams going to have a strong interest in trading.

Durant has the last year left in his contract (salary of about $54.71 million), but due to the 38-year-old rule limit, he can only renew his contract for two years at most. If Durant stays with the Suns, he can renew a two-year $124 million contract; if he is traded by the Suns, he can renew a two-year $111 million contract with the new team (similar to Butler's situation).

In the 2024-25 season, 36-year-old Durant played 62 regular season games for the Suns, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, scoring 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, with shooting percentages in the three events being 52.7%, 43.0% and 83.9% respectively.
