A new report on Kevin Durant trade rumors suggests the star isn't totally removed from a return to the Phoenix Suns.

"He is known to be very interested in playing in Houston," Kelly Iko and Sam Amick of The Athletic reported Monday. "Team sources said the Rockets still have significant reservations about that possible partnership, in large part, because Durant’s age (36) would be so out of sync with their younger timeline."

Phoenix’s first-round pick in 2025, owned by the Houston Rockets, did not move up in the draft lottery and sits at 10th. With Houston looking primed to be a Durant suitor and facing a crucial offseason in a way very few are discussing, the Suns should prioritize that selection being included in a potential package.
