KD can sign 111 million yuan with the team for 2 years👀Reporter: The Raptors are seen as Durant s potential destination

According to previous reports from multiple sources, 36-year-old veteran Durant is expected to be sent away by the sun this summer.

According to The Stein Line reporter Jake Fischer, the Toronto (Raptors) league sees Durant's potential ending, especially if Antetokounmpo does not enter the trading market. Although the Raptors have long been associated with Antetokounmpo, Durant is seen as a more realistic goal to give him a competitive offer.

Several sources revealed that when Durant hoped to leave the Nets in the 2022 offseason, the Raptors had intentionally pursued it.

According to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, several 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.
