ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst said Wednesday that Durant is a near-lock to be traded by the Suns this offseason.
“Kevin Durant, I’m like 98 percent sure he’s not going to be a Sun next year,” Windhorst said of the veteran. “How it works out? I’m about one percent sure. There’s going to be a number of teams interested, but some of it is going to depend on whether Durant is a player they keep on a one-year contract or they want to give him a contract extension, which I suspect he’s going to want.”
Durant has often been mentioned in trade rumors coming off a disastrous Suns season, which could lead to the team blowing up the roster in the hope of a better future.
The Suns reportedly want to keep Devin Booker, while Bradley Beal has a no-trade clause that complicates matters.
The 36-year-old Durant is still one of the NBA’s top scorers and has one year left on his deal, making him an acquirable asset for teams looking to get over the hump.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
