The Houston Rockets are willing to listen to trade offers for Kevin Durant, according to Yahoo Sports' Kelly Iko.
What's Happening?
The Rockets entered last season believing Kevin Durant was the missing piece to a team ready to contend. Less than a year later, the franchise appears willing to keep its options open. Only Amen Thompson is viewed as nearly untouchable.
Fans React
Despite winning 52 games, Houston believes it is still a step behind the NBA's top contenders after injuries exposed major roster weaknesses. “Kevin Durant it's time to fulfill the prophecy,” one fan wrote. Another added, “KD lowkey going out sad.”
Potential Destinations
Several fans immediately connected Durant to the San Antonio Spurs and rising superstar Victor Wembanyama. “Lmao front office is hilarious genuinely but if y’all do trade KD send him to San Antonio immediately. KD and Wemby would break the league,” one fan said. | Team | Player | | --- | --- | | San Antonio Spurs | Victor Wembanyama |
What's Next?
Although the Rockets are not actively trying to trade Durant, they are still willing to listen to offers if a deal can improve their chances of winning. Last result: Houston Rockets 100-97 Milwaukee Bucks (2025-02-26). Houston plans to keep building around Thompson and is expected to continue contract talks with him after the draft. The team also wants to keep Tari Eason despite interest from other clubs. Fred VanVleet is expected to remain with the Rockets, either by picking up his player option or signing a new contract.
