June 12th According to famous reporter Shams, Rich Kleiman, the Suns and Durant's business partner, is screening the next dealer, and the teams interested are mainly the Rockets, Spurs, Timberwolves, Heat and Knicks.

It is reported that as the transaction negotiations deepen, whether Durant can obtain a long-term contract extension will be a key factor.

Durant has the last year left in his contract (salary of about $54.71 million), but due to the 38-year-old rule limit, he can only renew his contract for two years at most. If Durant stays with the Suns, he can renew a two-year $124 million contract; if he is traded by the Suns, he can renew a two-year $111 million contract with the new team (similar to Butler's situation).
