Recent reports suggest that Kevin Durant’s tenure with the Phoenix Suns may conclude after this season. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst stated that the Suns plan to trade Durant in the upcoming offseason, and the player is aware of these intentions.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks have expressed interest in acquiring Durant, aiming to pair him with Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis. Following the trade that brought Davis to Dallas in exchange for Luka Dončić, the Mavericks are seeking to form a star-studded trio to compete at the highest level.
Durant, 36, has maintained a high level of performance this season, averaging 27.3 points per game. However, the Suns have had a disappointing season, currently sitting 11th in the Western Conference.
As the offseason approaches, the situation remains fluid. Durant’s future could significantly impact the NBA landscape, especially if he joins other high-profile players in Dallas or elsewhere.

The Eastern Conference-leading Cavs add much-needed wing depth, especially after acquiring De’Andre Hunter from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Caris LeVert and Georges Niang.
