Suns trading plan revealed: actively trade Durant with price cuts and wants to trade KD for center + love Donce

On June 4, has the 36-year-old Durant finished the last battle of his Suns career? According to multiple reporters, the Suns have taken the initiative to seek price cuts from the Rockets to trade Durant, and the Suns most want to exchange Durant for a center. 28 teams in the league enter the offseason ahead of schedule. There are many rumors about Durant's trade. According to Rockets Kelly Iko, the Suns hope to trade Durant and exchange their own draft picks before this year's draft. Sources revealed that since the end of the season, the Rockets have received multiple calls from the Suns, and the Suns have gradually lowered their asking price for Durant. The Rockets may be interested in a certain price, but the Rockets are worried that Durant's older age and injury history will damage the team's chemistry.

It is reported that the Rockets control the Suns' first round picks in 2025, 2027 and 2029.

reporter Sam Amico reported that the possibility of trading Durant has been discussed within the Hawks. Please don't be surprised if the Hawks join the Durant battle. Although the Hawks have not hired a new president of basketball operations, the team owner has left the court in person and has conducted internal investigations and discussions on Durant's situation.

NBA reporter Matt Moore reported that in all transaction negotiations about Durant, the Suns will give priority to getting a center player; the reporter reported that the Suns have informed Kevin Durant's suitor that in any relevant negotiations, getting a center player is something that the Suns value more. Kevin Durant has the possibility of staying, but the Suns still want to solve the team's center problem. Since the Suns traded DeAndre Ayton, the center problem has become a disaster for the team.

Previously, NBA reporter Cris Davis reported that the Suns wanted to trade Durant for Towns, and they were very interested in the combination of Towns + Booker; the Knicks have fired head coach Thibodeau, and Towns' latest odds are released, with the Suns +160 defeating the Magic and the Warriors first.

Durant's contract with the Suns has the last year left, worth $54.71 million; if he stays in the Suns, he is eligible to renew a new contract of $124 million for two years. If Durant is traded, he can renew a new contract of $111 million for two years with the new team.

Before this year's trading deadline, the Suns unilaterally traded Durant, and once reached an agreement with the Warriors and the Heat. In the end, Durant came forward to stop the transaction, and the deal ended in failure. Now the Suns are actively selling Durant, and it is obvious that the league will once again stage a reality show of "Where Are Durant Going?". Which team's jersey do you think Durant will wear in the new season?
