Where exactly? The Suns are selling Durant, and the four teams give specific quotes, and the Raptors chips are the most attractive!
7:11pm, 18 June 2025【Basketball】
Because the failure to make the playoffs this season and there have been many problems within the team, the Suns have begun to rebuild the team's lineup since the offseason entered. Their first task is to send veteran Kevin Durant away. Although he is 37 years old, Durant maintained a good condition last season, with an average of 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game. His personal efficiency is also very considerable, so it has attracted a lot of attention from the team. However, among these teams, only four teams have given specific quotes, and according to media reports, it is very likely that Durant's final next player will be one of these four teams. Let's take a look at who these teams are and what their chips are!
1. Houston Rockets
trading chips: Jaylen Green, 2025 first round pick
First of all, it is the most popular Rockets who are rumored to Durant. According to a reporter from ClutchPoints, the Rockets have already issued their offer, that is Jaylen Green and the 10th pick in the first round of this year. Among them, Green has played in the NBA for 4 seasons. He is 23 years old. In the just-concluded season, he averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, making him one of the core of this Rockets. However, Green's overall efficiency is relatively average. In this year's playoffs, in addition to playing a good game, he also performed poorly in the other games, which is also a major reason why the Rockets used him as a bargaining chip. However, for the Suns, the young Green is still valuable. After all, no matter how he failed to perform in the draft, he has been able to output 20+3+3 players in the past few seasons. With his outstanding physical fitness, even if the Suns want to send him away in the future, there is still room for trading. However, the Suns are not satisfied with the Rockets' offer, and they want to get Jabbarry Smith or Reed Shepard in addition to Green and this year's draft pick. Therefore, whether Durant can arrive at Space City depends on the attitude of the Rockets management.
2. Toronto Raptors trade chips: RJ Barrett, Emmanuel Quickley, Jacob Pelter and the 2025 first round pick
Although they were not a popular team for Durant before, according to industry reporter Grant Afseth, the Raptors also broke out from the diagonal and gave their offer. First of all, there is the Canadian local. The 2019 second-tier Barrett who could contribute 21.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists last season, followed by Quickley who transferred from the Knicks with Barrett and performed well last season, with 17.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists. What is even more unexpected is that the Raptors are willing to play with 29-year-old center Pertel who can contribute 14.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks, playing the best performance in his career, and also has a draft pick with the ninth pick in the first round this year. Looking at such tempting bargaining chips, the authenticity behind this is even doubtful. After all, among these three, Pelter, the oldest among these three, is only 29 years old. If this offer is really given, but the Suns choose to refuse, it is very likely that Durant himself does not want to go to the Raptors. After all, after the transaction really happens, the Raptors' lineup will have a significant impact, and it is difficult to have the possibility of hitting the championship. Therefore, although the Raptors' chips are quite attractive, if the Suns still take into account Durant's personal wishes, they may not be able to reach a deal.
3. San Antonio Spurs
trading chips: Devin Wassell, Harrison Barnes, Marache Blanham and 2 draft picks
, and Durant is also very popular, and Durant himself is willing to join the Spurs. Recently, a reporter also exposed their trading chips. First of all, the team has been trained as the core in recent years. The 24-year-old forward guard swingman Vassel, who can contribute 16.3 points, 4 rebounds and 2.9 assists this season, and then joined with Chris Paul, who averaged 12.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, and his shooting and three-point shooting percentages remained at 50.8% and 43.3% respectively. In addition, a team's rotation player, the 22-year-old forward Branham is the player bargaining chip of the Spurs. In addition, the Spurs are willing to give the 14th pick in the first round of this year and a future first-round pick. It can be said that the Spurs' chips are pretty good. After all, Durant is now 37 years old. Even though he is capable, he has entered the end of his career. The overall trading value is naturally far less than that of 10 years ago. Moreover, if the deal is reached, the Spurs' main lineup will not be affected, and Durant can also compete for the championship with Victor Vinbanyama, Daron Fox and others. However, the Suns are not satisfied with the Spurs' offer. They hope that the Spurs can use this year's second pick as bargaining chips, but this is the Spurs' bottom line, so there is also a deadlock between the Suns and the Spurs. It depends on who can make concessions to decide Durant's next stop.
4. Minnesota Timberwolves
Trade chips: Rudy Gobert, Dont Divinchenzo, Robert Dillingham or Terence Shannon Jr. Finally, let’s talk about the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves have reached the Western Conference Finals again this season. It can be said that they are also strong contenders for the championship. Therefore, after being eliminated by the Thunder, they quickly began to seek opportunities to strengthen the lineup. This time, they once again focused on Durant. You should know that before the trading deadline this year, the Timberwolves submitted a trading plan to the Suns, but ultimately failed to take shape.. Now that we are entering the offseason, the Timberwolves are willing to constantly modify their quotations to satisfy the Suns and thus get Durant. Not long ago, the Timberwolves announced their offer, first of all, Gobert, who can contribute 12 points, 10.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in the regular season. In addition, they are willing to send 3D wing Divincenzo, which has 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals, and finally get to any of Dillingham or Shannon to get Durant. Overall, although the Timberwolves did not get the draft pick, the chips were pretty good at that time. Although Gobert's ability declined, his contract expired next year. The Suns could make room for a year after taking over, and the other few people were also high-quality resources in the market at present. However, Durant himself has no interest in going to Minnesota, which is probably the biggest obstacle to his transaction at present.
