The Phoenix Suns received significant trade interest for Kevin Durant ahead of the NBA trade deadline. While they opted not to move the star forward, it’s expected they will reconsider the option in the offseason.
Many teams would be eager to pursue Durant if the Suns make him available, and one team likely to be interested is the Dallas Mavericks. After a shocking move, trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers before the deadline, the Mavericks will be looking to add another star to their roster.
A potential trio of Durant, Anthony Davis, and Kyrie Irving in Dallas would undoubtedly catch the Mavericks’ attention.
According to ESPN, there’s already speculation about a potential trade that could send Durant to the Mavericks in the offseason. Their proposal suggests Dallas offers a substantial package in exchange for the superstar.
Dallas Mavericks Receive:
- Kevin Durant
Phoenix Suns Receive:
- Klay Thompson
- P.J. Washington
- Naji Marshall
- Dereck Lively II
- 2025 First-Round Pick
This trade would impact the Mavericks’ depth, necessitating the acquisition of quality role players to support their new star trio.
For Phoenix, the return package could be appealing. The incoming players would provide immediate value alongside Devin Booker or serve as assets in future trades to acquire another marquee player.
Although speculative, the deal framework presents a plausible scenario. Durant’s future will be a major storyline this offseason, with growing momentum suggesting he might leave Phoenix. If that happens, Dallas could become a serious contender for his services.
