New Team ‘Expected’ to Join Kevin Durant Trade Sweepstakes originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the NBA offseason nears, trade rumors have begun to heat up as many expect this summer to be full of change. One player who has been at the center of trade rumors since the trade deadline is Phoenix Suns star forward Kevin Durant.

The Suns are working hard to trade the 15-time All-Star, and several teams are expected to have interest. Possibly even one of the teams from the NBA’s Conference Finals. Specifically, ESPN’s NBA insider Brian Windhorst suggests the New York Knicks could be among the teams that pursue a Durant trade in the next few weeks.

A former mentor to Durant, Hall of Fame San Antonio Spurs wing George Gervin, weighed in on what makes Durant's game so special — and revealed his special history with the two-time Finals MVP during an extensive new conversation with longtime NBA insider Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson.
