Phoenix Suns stars Kevin Durant and Russel Westbrook may soon get a reunion in Arizona if recent reports from the rumor mill are to be believed.
Recent betting odds suggested that the Phoenix Suns is the top favorite destination for RTussel Westbrook for a trade in the coming 2025 NBA off-season. If the rumor pans out, this would mean a reunion of the dynamic duo that is Kevin Durant and Westbrook.
Russell Westbrook is being discussed in trade rumors due to his current role as a backup guard for the Denver Nuggets and his potential fit with other teams. Despite his contributions, including averaging 13.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 6.2 assists this season, there is speculation that he might seek a new team for the 2025-26 NBA season.
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were last teammates during the 2015-2016 NBA season with the Oklahoma City Thunder. As a duo, they were one of the most dynamic and electrifying pairs in the league. Durant’s scoring prowess and Westbrook’s explosive athleticism complemented each other, making them a formidable force on the court.
During their time together, they led the Thunder to multiple playoff appearances, including a trip to the 2012 NBA Finals, where they fell short against the Miami Heat. In the 2015-2016 season, they came close to reaching the Finals again but were defeated by the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals after holding a 3-1 series lead. Despite their eventual split, their partnership remains one of the most memorable in NBA history.
LeBron Compared Buler Tarde to Kevin Durant
LeBron James, in a recent interview, liked the Jimmy Butler trade of the Godl State Warriors to the time when they acquired Kevin Durant.
“I’ve had to go against them when they added Kevin Durant,” LeBron said. “Jimmy Butler is great, he adds a toughness to them, he adds a championship-DNA type of guy. It’s always the same, they always figure it out, they always add someone that makes them dynamic.”
Kevin Durant’s time with the Golden State Warriors, from 2016 to 2019, was a defining chapter in his career and in NBA history. Durant joined the Warriors after leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder, a move that sparked controversy but ultimately led to incredible success.
So far this season, Kevin Durant is averaging 27.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game across 41 games. His shooting efficiency has been remarkable, with a 53.2% field goal percentage, 40.4% from three-point range, and 82.5% from the free-throw line.
