On June 12, 2025, the NBA has reached the finals, but the thing that is more popular than the finals is where Durant goes. At present, it is a foregone conclusion that Durant left the Suns, so the biggest question next is which team he will go to.

Recently, US media ESPN simulated the plan for each team to trade Durant. Which of these six sets of trading chips is the most attractive? The Rockets sent Dillon, Shepard, Whitmore, Landae +10 picks and the first round of the 2027 Suns, and the trade was Durant. The Heat sent Jovic, Wiggins, Duncan Robinson, Johnson and Dortmund draft picks. The Timberwolves sent Gobert, Divincenzo and Dillingham. The Knicks sent Anunobi and Mitchell Robinson. The Spurs sent out Vassel, Barnes and the No. 14 pick. The Mavericks send out Klay Thompson, Washington, Marshall, Lefley and the first round pick in 2028.

These trading simulations are very selective for the Suns. If you want to get ready-to-fight power, then the Knicks, Timberwolves, Mavericks and Spurs are all good choices, but if you want to get a draft pick or a young player, then the Rockets and Heat are also good choices.

Of course, for these six teams, even if they want to get Durant, they should not pay too much chips, especially the Rockets, Heat and Mavericks, which have too many chips. Next, we will look at the choice of Durant and his team. Where he will go will become the most popular topic recently.
