Durant turns 37 in September. He has one year left on his contract.
KD will make $54.7 million next season and will become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2026 if he doesn't sign an extension with his new team.
According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Suns and Durant's business partner, Boardroom CEO Rich Kleiman, have met multiple times over the past week to get KD out of Phoenix.

It's unknown what the Heat will offer the Suns for Durant this time around, but in February, Miami offered Phoenix a package built around Jimmy Butler, who wound up getting traded to Durant's old team, the Golden State Warriors.

'That Heat offer, according to a source, included Jimmy Butler, Josh Richardson, a first-round pick and potentially another component,' Barry Jackson and Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald wrote.
"Five Reasons Sports reported that Miami offered Nikola Jovic as that fourth component, but that was disputed publicly by a close Butler associate.'
Durant remains an elite player in the NBA. He averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists for Phoenix this season while shooting 52.7% from the field, 43.0% from beyond the arc and 83.9% from the free-throw line.
A top 75 player of all time, Durant has played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Warriors, Brooklyn Nets and Suns. He has career averages of 27.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists.

Durant won two titles and two Finals MVPs with the Warriors. He hasn't reached the conference finals since leaving Golden State for Brooklyn in the offseason of 2019.
The Heat reached the NBA Finals twice (2020, 2023) in the Butler era, losing both times.

Want to see Panthers play at home in the Stanley Cup Final? What Game 4 tickets will cost you
Fans celebrate following the Panther's second goal during the first period of Game 3 in the NHL Stanley Cup Final series at Amerant Bank Arena on Monday, June 9, 2025, in Sunrise, Fla. The Florida Panthers' first home game of the Stanley Cup Final was a memorable one. They blew out the Edmonton Oilers 6-1, playing a dominant all-around game in front of a sold-out Amerant Bank Arena crowd of 19,863 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series. If you want to be at the arena to see them continue their path toward a championship repeat, time is running out — and you'll probably need to empty your wallet a little bit. Advertisement Game 4 on Thursday, an 8 p.m. start, is the only guaranteed home game left on the schedule with Florida two wins from winning the Stanley Cup. Game 5 is in Edmonton. Should the Oilers win either of the next two games, the Panthers would host Game 6 on June 17. The cheapest ticket available on the resale market for Game 4 as of Tuesday afternoon is $429 on SeatGeek. That will get you a seat in Section 329, in a corner of the arena on the side of the ice where the Panthers will shoot during the first and third periods. If you want to get closer to the action, most resale tickets in the lower bowl are going for over $1,000 each but there are a few available in the $750-$900 range. Through eight home playoff games, the Panthers have had an average announced attendance of 19,783 per game, which is at 102.8% capacity. The listed capacity crowd at Amerant Bank Arena for hockey games is 19,250.
