Kevin Durant could be traded as early as next week?

by

The Phoenix Suns star Durant is expected to be traded away by next week, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reported on Wednesday. Appearing on the “Burns & Gambo” show, Gambadoro added that it could be sooner but that his formal prediction is that Durant will be traded at some point next week. “I expect Kevin Durant will be traded from the Phoenix Suns next week,” said Gambadoro. “There’s a lot of stuff out there. Some of it’s accurate, a lot of it is not accurate. We’ve said it all along that he will be traded by the draft. Outside shot that something happens sooner. But I’m gonna say that next week, my expectations are Kevin Durant is traded.”

I also looked at the Spurs’ cap sheet in the next 3 seasons if Durant was acquired and signed an extension, along with Fox, and Wemby. – 12:40 AM

More on this storyline

With the Miami Heat again intrigued by the possibility of landing Kevin Durant, a potential union could come down to whether there is mutual interest from the 15-time All-Star. In the wake of reports linking the Heat to a potential deal for Durant, the Sun Sentinel has confirmed Heat interest. That Heat are not permitted to comment on a player under contract to another team. -via South Florida Sun-Sentinel / June 12, 2025
Bill Simmons: So you had you were talking about Kevin Durant and you said watch out for the Clippers which I kind of heard rumblings of myself and I think Durant’s going to the Spurs. I’m just going to slap it down a second time. I think that’s how it plays out. Zach Lowe: For sure the two teams that there’s the most buzz about are the Spurs and the Wolves. -via YouTube / June 12, 2025
