During an end-of-season press conference, Miami Heat president Pat Riley hinted at targeting an aging star, with Kevin Durant emerging as a top candidate. As the 37-year-old enters the final year of his $54.7 million contract, interest from the Heat aligns with previous pursuits of the 15-time All-Star. ESPN insider Shams Charania confirmed the Heat among prime suitors for Durant, alongside teams like the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs, with anticipation growing around his potential trade following earlier talks during the February deadline.
Teams that have expressed interest in Durant, sources said, mainly feature the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves and New York Knicks. Several wild-card suitors have made inquiries on Durant in the past seven to 10 days, sources said.
The worst-kept secret in the NBA is that Durant, 37, played his last game with the Suns, with the Heat's previous interest in the 15-time All-Star suggesting they could circle back the wagon.
