Even with the possibility of an early postseason exit, the Houston Rockets do not appear to be a franchise pursuing Kevin Durant, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. Their accelerated development and commitment to a young core suggest a long-term vision that doesn’t align with acquiring a veteran superstar on the back half of his career.

There's reportedly a "level of mutual interest" between Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets, per ESPN's Shams Charania.

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Phoenix Suns are expected to work with Kevin Durant on a trade this summer. The two-time Finals MVP was almost traded to the Golden State Warriors in February before the Warriors found out Durant didn't want to return to Golden State.
