Goodbye the Sun! US media advised Durant, 1 for 7 for joining the Heat, netizens: bargain price

The Suns have only achieved a record of 36 wins and 46 losses this season, and were eliminated early in the fiercely competitive Western Conference. Such achievements not only disappoint the fans, but also put huge pressure on the team's management and core players. After the season, the Suns fired head coach Budenholzer, marking a comprehensive adjustment and change to the team.

For Durant, the failure of the Big Three of the Suns made him feel disgusted again. Although he is still in good competitive state, he will be 37 years old next season. If he wants to win the championship again, it is obviously not a wise move to waste his final peak on the Suns.

At the same time, when Suns' new general manager Gregory talks about Durant's stay or leave, his answer is also intriguing. He said he had a very good relationship with Durant, but the team's most important task at the moment is to find a suitable new coach.

In addition, according to previous reports by well-known journalist Shams, the Sun has started trading negotiations about Durant, which also means that the cooperation between the two sides is about to come to an end.

Recently, according to Marc Stein, the Miami Heat are expected to show strong interest in Kevin Durant. The Heat performed poorly in the playoffs this season and were swept out by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round. After Butler's departure, the team's management obviously hopes to improve the team's competitiveness by introducing a superstar, and Durant is undoubtedly one of their ideal goals.

However, in the deal about Durant, the Heat did not intend to use a large number of draft picks as bargaining chips because they did not want to sacrifice future assets. According to Barry Jackson, a reporter for the Miami Herald, the Heat are actively seeking to introduce Durant through a deal.

"They may use Andrew Wiggins and Duncan Robinson's $19.8 million expiration contracts, as well as a young potential player to build a deal."

It is worth mentioning that the US media also simulated two other deals about Durant and the Heat.

1. The Heat got Durant; the Suns got Wel, Rozier, Dunro, a 25-year first-round draft pick, and 30-year first-round draft pick

2. The Heat got Durant; the Suns got Durant, Jovic, Rozier, Highsmith, 2 first-round picks, and 2 second-round picks

For the Heat, Durant's joining will be a huge leap. As a super scorer, Durant has excellent shooting skills and comprehensive offensive skills. His arrival will make the Heat more threatening offensively, while also improving the team's performance at critical moments. The Heat could provide Durant with a competitive roster that allows him to reprove his strength in the Eastern Conference.

However, trading Durant is not easy. The Suns could demand a high price for the Heat in trade negotiations, including young players and future draft picks. You should know that in the previous few trades, the Suns have almost exhausted all their first-round picks in the next few years, so draft picks are the deal they most eager to get.

At present, transaction rumors about Durant are still fermenting. Netizens also had a heated discussion on this potential deal. Many people believe that the Heat proposed a trade for Durant with relatively low bargaining chips, which can be called a "baby price". So, what do you think about Durant’s next stop?
