Kevin Durant Trade Expected to Be Imminent With 3 Teams Competing Over Him originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kevin Durant trade sweepstakes are heating up, as Shams Charania of ESPN reported on Friday that the Phoenix Suns star could be traded soon.

“There is some serious traction on conversations, on trade scenarios with the Suns,” Charania said, noting that between six and eight teams have reached out to Phoenix, but that the front office has keyed in on conversations with those three contenders in the past day or two.

According to ESPN's Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorst, the Clippers are a "team to monitor" in the KD sweepstakes since they "have the contracts to make another move to augment" their roster around Kawhi Leonard and potentially James Harden.
