The Phoenix Suns were unable to get a trade done when they shopped superstar Kevin Durant before the February trade deadline, but the team appears likely to ship Durant at some point this offseason. One team that has been linked to Durant is the Houston Rockets.

"He is known to be very interested in playing in Houston," Kelly Iko and Sam Amick of The Athletic reported Monday. "Team sources said the Rockets still have significant reservations about that possible partnership, in large part, because Durant’s age (36) would be so out of sync with their younger timeline."

Despite having Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, the Suns missed the playoffs this year. Since leaving the Golden State Warriors in the summer of 2019, Durant has been swept in the first round of the playoffs twice and hasn't gotten back to the NBA Finals.
