The NBA offseason buzz is focused on Kevin Durant's potential trade as the Phoenix Suns aim to rebuild around Devin Booker following a disappointing season that saw them miss the playoffs for the first time since 2020. Reports indicate that the Suns are expected to trade Durant to maximize their return, with the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, and Miami Heat being prominent contenders. Despite ongoing discussions, no substantial offer has yet been made that meets Phoenix's demands for Durant.

Among potential trade pieces, Cam Whitmore has emerged as a key player in negotiations with the Rockets. The Suns' need for depth at forward post-Durant makes Whitmore an appealing option. However, Houston has been hesitant to include Tari Eason and Jabari Smith Jr. in trade talks, constraining their leverage. The fate of Durant remains uncertain as negotiations continue.
