Kevin Durant trade: Rockets, Suns not talking?

“One clarification right here (as a result of) we rushed at finish — once I talked about the very broad concept of 3-team trades involving Jrue Vacation + KD, I meant to indicate KD would go to the third team in those deals (i.e. maybe a team on his list) — and NOT to Boston,” Lowe wrote on social media. “The Celtics are NOT looking to trade for KD. I don’t think such a 3-team trade is really in the ether anyway. Thought this would be obvious but should have stated more clearly.” -via Booth Newspapers / June 22, 2025

To this point, it sounds just like the Suns aren’t within the commerce packages being supplied. So with the draft developing, NBA insider Zach Lowe floated over Durant being linked to the Celtics, however not essentially with the All-Star ending up in Boston. Lowe made his current touch upon his podcast Friday. “The main focus for me is on Jrue Vacation,” Lowe mentioned. “I’ve heard that there have been at least very broad discussions of three-team, Durant-related trades where Jrue Holiday is (included). I think these could be conjured by Phoenix in hopes of getting a deal done, more-or-less, where Jrue Holiday moves somewhere. Just like he was the shrapnel in the (Damian Lillard) trade and ended up in Boston.” -via Booth Newspapers / June 22, 2025

It’s more likely to, regardless of San Antonio fielding inquiries from groups seeking to commerce as much as No. 2, whereas two future Corridor of Famers — Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant — might grow to be obtainable in potential trades. The Spurs haven’t held any substantive discussions regarding the former, in accordance with sources, and Phoenix’s asking value is perhaps too steep for a franchise seeking to stay cautious in the course of the early years of Wembanyama’s profession. -via ESPN / June 21, 2025
