Pat McAfee: Shams: “The Suns have a price threshold that they want met in a trade for Kevin Durant and I had one team tell me today it’s a game of chicken right now.. The Rockets, Heat, and Timberwolves are literally one or two pieces away from getting a deal done”

“There’s a certain price threshold they’ll go to for a guy like Kevin Durant, and if that price doesn’t align with Phoenix’s, then clearly there’s just not going to be a deal.”

Went through Wednesday’s latest trade rumors on KD and then I looked at a different trade deal for the Spurs for Durant, as well as the Suns’ cap sheet if they don’t find a deal they like: open.substack.com/pub/thespotups… – 1:42 AM

As for Durant, the Heat remains willing to negotiate (without giving up the farm), but Suns continue to want more from everyone who has made offer. As @MarcJSpears noted, Anthony Edwards is opting NOT to try to convince Durant to play in Minnesota, where he reportedly doesn’t – 5:57 PM

More on this storyline
       Dru: “I got my eye on the Heat right now. When you look at this whole landscape, that’s my best educated guess as to what the outcome is going to be for KD. I think Miami has the pieces & willingness & are a team that KD would want to go to & could win this sweepstakes.” @JakeLFischer -via  Twitter / June 19, 2025
      
       Run It Back: Sam Amick on the Kevin Durant trade saga: “(Suns) clearly don’t like what they’re hearing from San Antonio, Houston and Miami…Phoenix is almost trying to nudge him to (Minnesota). … We’re a little ways away.” @sam_amick | @MichelleDBeadle | @TeamLou23 | @ChandlerParsons -via  Twitter / June 19, 2025
      
       Pat McAfee: Shams: “I think the Spurs feel really good about that number 2 pick & Dylan Harper has already met with them.. The Spurs have interest in Kevin Durant & they have talked to the Suns.. If another players hits the market they have the assets to make a deal” ~ -via  x.com / June 19, 2025
