Report: Rockets, Spurs, T-Wolves, Knicks among teams inquiring about Durant

Interest in Kevin Durant is heating up.

The Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, and New York Knicks, are among several teams that have made inquiries about trading for the 15-time All-Star in the past seven-to-10 days, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Wednesday.

There have also been several wild-card suitors, Charania adds.

Durant and his team have reportedly met with the Phoenix Suns multiple times over the past week to discuss preferred trade destinations.

Durant is on an expiring deal valued at $54.7 million and will become an unrestricted free agent next summer. He will be eligible for a two-year, $112-million extension July 6, which could rise to as much as $124 million if he waits six months before signing. Durant's desire for a long-term extension will be crucial in a potential deal, according to Charania.

The Suns have allegedly been shopping Durant aggressively since their season ended. The organization is reportedly focused on recouping its draft capital, including the 10th pick in this year's draft. The Suns don't control their own first- or second-round selection until 2032; their 2025 and 2027 first-rounders are owned by Houston, and the Washington Wizards control swap rights to their first-round selections in 2026 and 2030.

The 2025 NBA Draft will take place June 25 and 26.

The Suns reportedly attempted to move Durant at the trade deadline and fielded calls from multiple organizations, including his former squad, the Golden State Warriors. The New York Knicks allegedly made an official offer that was rebuffed by Phoenix.

Despite having the highest payroll in league history, Phoenix failed to make the play-in tournament after going 36-46 in the regular season and finishing 11th in the West. The Suns have since made several organizational changes, including the hiring of Cleveland Cavaliers assistant Jordan Ott as head coach.

Durant averaged 26.6 points, 4.2 assists, and six rebounds in his 17th NBA campaign.
