New Team ‘Expected’ to Join Kevin Durant Trade Sweepstakes originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the NBA offseason nears, trade rumors have begun to heat up as many expect this summer to be full of change. One player who has been at the center of trade rumors since the trade deadline is Phoenix Suns star forward Kevin Durant.

The Heat haven't had a top-20 offense since 2021-22 and last fielded a top-10 attack during the 2019-20 campaign, when two of their top four scorers were Goran Dragić and Kendrick Nunn. This offense is overdue for an upgrade, and even with his 37th birthday approaching in September, Durant could still be the perfect player to provide it.

This Eastern Conference powerhouse could throw its hat in the ring for the pursuit of Kevin Durant this summer.
