Following another disappointing season for the Phoenix Suns, Kevin Durant has been dubbed a star likely on the move this summer. Still weeks away from the official start of the offseason, possible landing spots have already begun to surface.
In the later stages of his career, Durant remains a highly impactful player in the NBA. He appeared in 62 games for the Suns this year, averaging 26.6 PPG, 6.0 RPG and 4.2 APG in that time. Being on an expiring contract could make things tricky, but he can elevate a team with his offensive prowess.
In his latest news dump of NBA intel, insider Marc Stein touched on the potential KD sweepstakes this offseason. The Miami Heat is among the teams being considered for a landing spot.
“The Heat are frequently forecasted as a team, along with Minnesota, expected to show trade interest this offseason in Phoenix’s Kevin Durant,” Stein wrote. “What sort of clues [Heat president Pat] Riley drops clues about his team-building approach in the wake of a 37-45 campaign and painful first-round playoff sweep inflicted by Cleveland will be of prime interest.”
