The Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat were the two teams initially reported to be on Kevin Durant’s wish list as he seeks a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. Those two teams may be more motivated than most to offer a strong package for Durant given his preference to end up there, but other teams may be able to put together a more attractive package and convince Durant to happily play there.
“I think a team that is lurking and will be lurking in this is Toronto,” Adrian Wojnarowski said. “They have all the kinds of pieces you could want and their picks to make a Kevin Durant deal. And they have an organization, a leader in Masai Ujiri, who certainly… you saw the chance he took on Kawhi Leonard with one year left on his contract…
“How far are the Raptors willing to go in a bid for Brooklyn? Would you suggest Scotty Barnes? I think this is a player that Toronto, under almost no circumstances, would want to part with, but having him on their roster…Pascal Siakam, all the other talented players, contracts that might match up.
“I think you keep watching Toronto to see how much they’re going to go for Kevin Durant.”
