The NBA offseason is almost set to fully begin, and it could be one of the more wild ones in recent memory. Multiple star players could be on the move this summer, completely shifting power around the league.
One of those players is star forward Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns. Durant was rumored to have almost been moved at the trade deadline this year, but Phoenix held onto him for now.

However, due to this, many around the NBA believe that Durant's time with the Suns is over. Phoenix has underperformed with Durant on the roster, and it may be a good time to part ways.
ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst gave his thoughts on the partnership between Durant and Phoenix, saying that he is almost 100 percent sure Durant would leave. Windhorst appeared on the ESPN show 'NBA Today to discuss the situation.
"Kevin Durant, I'm like 98% sure he's not gonna be a Sun next year, how it works out though I'm about 1% sure. There's gonna be a number of teams interested, but some of it is gonna depend on whether they see KD as a player they keep on a 1-year contract or extension", he said.
While it remains to be seen what will happen with Durant, it does seem like he will be leaving the Suns this summer. Multiple teams will be interested in landing Durant despite his advanced age.

Durant remains one of the better scorers in the NBA and could be a valuable piece to a contending team next season. The veteran averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game last season.
The Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs have been the most talked-about teams for the services of Durant this offseason. Durant could help either one next year, but it remains to be seen what the star wants to do.
With the NBA being such a players' league, Durant will have a massive say in what the future holds for himself. But no matter what Durant does, his time with the Suns is likely to come to an end.
