迈阿密热火、圣安东尼奥马刺和休斯顿火箭是菲尼克斯太阳队球星 凯文·杜兰特 (Kevin Durant) 的首选交易下家，消息人士周六晚告诉ESPN。近日，联盟内多方人士已被告知，这三支球队是杜兰特愿意承诺签下长期续约合同的球队。
杜兰特在2025-26赛季拥有一份到期薪水5470万美元的合同，消息人士称，太阳队已向六到八支真正感兴趣的球队明确表示，他们将寻求对球队最有利的交易，即使这意味着将杜兰特交易到他心仪名单之外的球队。
全联盟的球队一直在预期杜兰特会被交易，自从太阳队在二月交易截止日前开始进行相关谈判以来，而这位15届全明星球员最终仍留在了菲尼克斯。
一旦他被交易，杜兰特将有资格在7月6日签下一份为期两年、最高价值1.22亿美元的续约合同。如果他在交易完成后等待六个月，他可以签下一份为期两年、最高价值1.24亿美元的续约合同。
NBA自由球员市场将在2026年夏天重新洗牌，届时拥有薪金空间的球队将从今年休赛期的布鲁克林篮网一支球队，增加到联盟半数。
杜兰特在二月交易截止日前差点被交易到金州勇士队，但他明确表示对重返勇士不感兴趣，更希望在太阳队结束本赛季。当时，消息人士告诉ESPN，杜兰特对太阳队将其纳入任何交易谈判感到意外。这一次，双方有望就他的下一站合作达成一致。
杜兰特，将于九月年满37岁，本赛季入选了他职业生涯第15次全明星，在62场比赛中场均得到26.6分、6.0个篮板和4.2次助攻。根据ESPN研究部门的数据，这位未来的名人堂成员已连续三个赛季场均至少得到25分、投篮命中率达到50%、三分球命中率达到40%，这是NBA历史上的最长纪录。作为一名射手，杜兰特仍然效率非凡：他的跳投命中率（49.7%）和中距离投篮命中率（53.1%）均领跑全联盟。根据GeniusIQ的数据，他的运球急停跳投命中率（50.9%）也是最高。
太阳队本赛季战绩为36胜46负，在西部联盟排名第11位，且薪资总额创联盟历史新高，导致了球队管理层面的调整，最终任命高管 布莱恩·格雷戈里 (Brian Gregory) 为新任总经理，并聘请克利夫兰骑士队助理教练 乔丹·奥特 (Jordan Ott) 为新任主教练。
杜兰特是在2023年2月交易截止日前通过交易来到菲尼克斯的，他在太阳队场均得到26.8分，创队史最高纪录。

Sources - Durant prefers to land with Heat, Spurs or Rockets
The Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets are Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant’s preferred trade destinations, sources told ESPN on Saturday night. People across the NBA have been made aware in recent days that those are the three teams Durant would commit to with a long-term extension.
Durant is on an expiring $54.7 million deal for the 2025-26 season, and the Suns have made clear to the six to eight seriously interested teams that they will make the best deal for the franchise, even if it means trading Durant to a team outside his preferred list, sources said.
Teams around the NBA have been anticipating that Durant would be moved ever since the Suns engaged in talks around the February trade deadline, which passed with the 15-time All-Star still in Phoenix.
Once he is traded, Durant will be eligible to sign a two-year contract extension July 6 worth as much as $122 million. If he were to wait six months after the trade, he could sign a two-year extension worth up to $124 million.
The NBA free agency market resets in the summer of 2026, with teams that have cap space increasing from just one this offseason, the Brooklyn Nets, to half of the league.
Durant was nearly sent to the Golden State Warriors at the February trade deadline before he made it clear that he was not interested in a reunion and preferred to finish the season with the Suns. At the time, sources told ESPN that Durant was blindsided by the Suns including him in any trade conversations. This time around, the sides are expected to work together on his next home.
Durant, who turns 37 in September, made his 15th All-Star team this season and averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 62 games. The future Hall of Famer has averaged at least 25 points, 50% shooting and 40% on 3-pointers in three straight seasons, the longest streak ever in the NBA, according to ESPN Research. As a shooter, Durant remains prolific: He shot an NBA-best on jumpers (49.7%) and midrange shots (53.1%). He also had the best shooting percentage on off-the-dribble jumpers (50.9%), according to GeniusIQ.
The Suns went 36-46 this season and finished in 11th place in the Western Conference with the highest payroll in league history, leading to organizational changes that culminated in naming executive Brian Gregory as the new general manager and hiring Cleveland Cavaliers assistant coach Jordan Ott as their new coach.
Durant arrived in Phoenix in a February 2023 deadline trade, and his 26.8 points per game as a member of the franchise is the most in Suns history.
