The Phoenix Suns were unable to get a trade done when they shopped superstar Kevin Durant before the February trade deadline, but the team appears likely to ship Durant at some point this offseason.

One team that has been linked to Durant is the Houston Rockets. ESPN's Shams Charania reported last month before the Rockets' first-round loss to the Golden State Warriors that there has been a "mutual level of interest" between Durant and the Rockets. The Rockets are ready to win after finishing the regular season with the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, and Durant could potentially put them over the top by providing a veteran All-Star presence.
