Can sign 111 million Shams with the new team for two years: 4-6 teams are expected to have a strong interest in Durant

June 5th According to ESPN famous reporter Shams Charania, several sources revealed that the Suns have finalized the new coach - rookie coach and Cavaliers assistant Jordan Ultra, who will take office.

Shams Charania also stated in the article that with the determination of the new coach, the Suns are now starting the team's offseason lineup adjustment. The Suns will work with All-Star forward Durant and Durant's agent business partner, Boardroom CEO Rich Kleiman, to find a new next home for Durant.

Digital sources said that this year's offseason, Durant is expected to have a strong market this year, with about 4 to 6 teams going to have a strong interest in trading.

According to ESPN salary expert Bobby Marks, Durant has the last year left in his contract (salary of about $54.71 million), but due to the 38-year-old rule limit, he can only renew his contract for two years at most. If Durant stays with the Suns, he can renew a two-year $124 million contract; if he is traded by the Suns, he can renew a two-year $111 million contract with the new team (similar to Butler's situation).

In the 2024-25 season, 36-year-old Durant played 62 regular season games for the Suns, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, scoring 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, with shooting percentages in the three events being 52.7%, 43.0% and 83.9% respectively.
