Two Teams Emerge as ‘Most Likely’ to Land Kevin Durant in Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Phoenix Suns are looking to trade Kevin Durant before the NBA Draft, and the Houston Rockets are a potential partner for them. The Suns want to get a deal done before the draft on June 25 in order to potentially acquire a pick or two to add to their arsenal.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant reportedly sees the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs as "appealing" landing spots as trade rumors continue to swirl.

According to multiple reports, the Miami Heat, Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers and Toronto Raptors are interested in trading for the 36-year-old Durant, who turns 37 in the fall and has one year left on his contract.

According to a new report from NBA insider Jake Fischer Saturday, the Rockets are reluctant to expedite their timeline and trade for the 36-year-old Durant when the majority of Houston's most important players are under 25. That leaves the Heat and Timberwolves as the teams most frequently mentioned as suitors for Durant, Fischer reported.
