According to Suns insider John Gambadoro, Durant is expected to be traded sometime next week, which will be the week before the 2025 draft. This does not come as a surprise as the Suns are clearly trying to land another first-round pick in the upcoming draft since their own pick went to the Houston Rockets due to a prior trade.

Draymond Green said on Jimmy Kimmel Live last week that the Warriors were "at the finish line" to acquire Kevin Durant before the deal ultimately fell through.
