The Miami Heat (+250) and Houston Rockets (+250) are now tied for the highest odds as of Tuesday, June 17, to have Durant at the start of the 2025-26 season. The Heat had the best odds Monday, June 16, at +200. The San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves are each at +350. The T-Wolves had the highest odds Sunday, June 15, at +160.

Kevin Durant has reportedly identified the San Antonio Spurs as one of his preferred trade destinations, per The Athletic, but San Antonio’s front office has balked at the idea. They’d need to surrender vital young assets or top draft selections to land the 12‑time All‑Star.
