With the NBA Draft looming, Kevin Durant is at the forefront of trade discussions. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, a trade involving Durant could happen in the next few days, with the Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, and Minnesota Timberwolves being among the teams interested. However, the ongoing NBA Finals may delay any announcements, as the league prefers to keep the focus on the games rather than rumors.

The Los Angeles Clippers are emerging as potential players in the Durant sweepstakes, possibly involving a complex trade that may include Norman Powell and draft picks. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns, who acquired Durant last season, are seeking a significant return that may fall short of their expectations, as teams such as the Timberwolves and Rockets have not made overwhelming offers.

In other news, Giannis Antetokounmpo has not requested a trade, keeping him with the Milwaukee Bucks. The New Orleans Pelicans are rumored to target Ace Bailey in the draft, while both Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro of the Miami Heat remain untouchable in trade talks. Chris Paul is also a name to watch, with potential interest from the Clippers, where he could reunite with his family.
