According to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, the Phoenix Suns are expected to trade Kevin Durant no later than the 2025 NBA Draft on June 25.

Durant has one year left on his contract. He will not return to the Suns, who would like to trade the NBA legend before the 2025 NBA Draft.

Durant turns 37 in September. He averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists for the Suns this season while shooting 52.7% from the field, 43.0% from beyond the arc and 83.9% from the free-throw line.

A future Hall of Famer, Durant has been linked to several teams in trade rumors, but it appears we are in the final stage of the Durant sweepstakes.

According to Fischer, the two teams most frequently cited as potential landing spots for Durant are the Minnesota Timberwolves and Miami Heat.

The Timberwolves and Heat tried to trade for Durant at the February NBA trade deadline.

Minnesota All-Star shooting guard Anthony Edwards has said many times that Durant is his favorite player of all time. Edwards and Durant were teammates on Team USA last summer.

Meanwhile, Heat All-Star center Bam Adebayo and Durant were teammates on Team USA last summer as well.

The Timberwolves lost in the conference finals this year in five games, while the Heat were swept in the first round of the playoffs.

A top 75 player of all time, Durant has career averages of 27.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets and Suns.

KD won the 2014 MVP Award with the Thunder and back-to-back rings and Finals MVPs with the Warriors in 2017 and 2018.
