Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat, and Minnesota Timberwolves were all interested in acquiring Kevin Durant before the February 6 trade deadline.
Three teams pursued Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant, but none were successful, as the 36-year-old never requested a trade or expressed a desire to leave.
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat, and Minnesota Timberwolves were all interested in acquiring Durant before the February 6 deadline.
Per the same report, GSW proposed sending Jimmy Butler, Jonathan Kuminga, 1st-round picks, 2nd-round picks, and pick swaps to the Suns for Durant.
The trade fell through when KD showed zero interest in returning to the Warriors.
Following these trade discussions, Durant is reportedly unhappy about being involved in such speculation. ESPN's Brian Windhorst has indicated that a trade could happen this summer.
Currently, KD is earning $51.1 million this season and is under contract for one more year at $52.7 million for the 2025-26 season.
