In early February, the Phoenix Suns attempted to trade Kevin Durant to the Golden State Warriors without his knowledge. He eventually got wind of the negotiations and squashed the deal, but the writing was on the wall at that point.

NBA Star Reportedly Not Recruiting Kevin Durant Amid Trade Talks originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Fifteen-time All-Star Kevin Durant wants the Phoenix Suns to trade him to the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets or Miami Heat. The Suns, who missed the playoffs this year, are expected to trade Durant before the 2025 NBA Draft.

According to a report from NBA reporter Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Memphis Grizzlies are interested in pulling off a trade for Durant. After moving on from Desmond Bane in a blockbuster trade with the Orlando Magic over the weekend, the Grizzlies are still open for business.
