Heat reportedly among Kevin Durant's preferred trade destinations. Where things stand
Briefly

Kevin Durant is reportedly interested in joining the Miami Heat alongside the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets as his top trade destinations. With only one season left on his contract, Durant is due $54.7 million before he can potentially become a free agent in 2026. Despite interest from the Timberwolves, Durant doesn't seem keen on a long-term commitment there. Notably, if traded, he could sign a contract extension worth up to $124 million after six months, heightening his trade allure.
This is important because Durant has just one season left on his contract, as he's due $54.7 million next season before he can become a free agent in the 2026 offseason.
ESPN's report came shortly after The Athletic listed the Spurs and Rockets as Durant's only preferred trade destinations, but there are complicating factors with both of those negotiations.
