The bluffing game continues between the Phoenix Suns and the teams chasing Kevin Durant. With the 2025 Draft fast approaching, talks are intensifying, yet the Suns’ front office has still not given the green light.
Could there be a shift in strategy from Phoenix? According to recent reports, the franchise may now wait until after June 25 to finalize a trade—pushing past what many saw as the deadline. While the draft was expected to be the pivotal moment, the Suns appear willing to delay in hopes of landing the return they want.
Several teams are in pursuit of Durant, including Houston, which boasts appealing assets. However, the price set by Phoenix remains sky-high, and talks are reportedly stuck on one critical point: whether Jabari Smith Jr. will be included in the deal. So far, Phoenix refuses to budge.
Tension remains around the Kevin Durant file
@esidery : “The Suns are unlikely to do a Kevin Durant trade with the Rockets unless Jabari Smith Jr. is included in the deal, per John Gambadoro. Phoenix will not rush into a Durant deal if their price isn’t satisfied, and they’re now willing to go past the 2025 Draft.”
This statement could be a simple bluff to pressure rival teams before the June 25 deadline—or Phoenix might genuinely be ready to postpone the move, hoping for a better offer. A risky choice, especially considering Durant is pushing to be traded to a team of his choice.
Among his preferred destinations, the Spurs remain serious contenders. But even there, the proposed package reportedly falls short of Phoenix’s expectations, with San Antonio banking on Durant’s desire to join them in Texas. Each side seems to be buying time—or stalling the other.
The coming days will be decisive. The Suns’ strategy could pay off… or backfire entirely. One thing is certain: the Slim Reaper is still in limbo, and fans are eager to find out where the superstar will land for what might be one of the final big chapters of his career. A resolution coming soon?
