Kevin Durant's potential move is heating up, with reports suggesting he could soon join the Miami Heat, among other teams. As of now, the competition stands between the Heat, the Houston Rockets, and the Minnesota Timberwolves. With the Suns' recent struggles placing them as the 11th seed and Durant's apparent dissatisfaction, his trade seems imminent. Miami, having nearly secured Durant at the trade deadline, now sees an opening due to the Suns' diminished leverage. The deal could be finalized quickly, enhancing Miami's chances to reclaim superstar status in a post-LeBron era.
According to ESPN's lead Senior Insider Shams Charania, the Kevin Durant sweepstakes have narrowed to three finalists: the Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Miami Heat.
Durant remains one of the league's most lethal scoring talents, averaging nearly 27 points on 53% shooting this past season.
The leverage is no longer in Phoenix's favor, as Durant has quietly expressed discontent and the Suns failed to make the playoffs.
Riley was close to finalizing a trade for Durant at the deadline, but talks ended when the Suns rejected Miami's offer.
