The Phoenix Suns have yet to receive a strong enough trade offer for Kevin Durant from the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets or Miami Heat to make them move forward with a deal, sources tell The Athletic. Durant has communicated his intention to sign an extension with one of those three teams. The Suns are hoping that Durant will warm up to the idea of playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves. ESPN reported on Monday that Durant has no interest in playing for the Wolves.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Indiana Pacers had all sorts of reasons for offseason nightmares even before the ball went up in Game 5 of these fantastic NBA Finals on Monday night. If only they’d held that double-digit, third-quarter lead in Game 4 three nights before in Indianapolis, where the prospect of this historically great Oklahoma City Thunder team falling into a 3-1 series hole seemed so real before Shai Gilgeous-Alexander took over late.

Kevin Durant has three teams on his list of preferred trade destinations, per league sources: San Antonio, Houston and Miami. As the Phoenix Suns star waits to see where he’s dealt, with his situation capturing so much of the NBA’s spotlight even amid these wildly entertaining NBA Finals, that means only those three front offices can negotiate with the full confidence that the 36-year-old (who has one season left on his current contract) would be willing to sign an extension after he arrives.

The Phoenix Suns are interested in Jabari Smith Jr. as part of a Kevin Durant trade package from the Houston Rockets, sources told Kelly Iko of The Athletic. Jalen Green has also been mentioned in trade talks, though Green is interested in staying with the Rockets and building upon his playoff struggles. The Rockets are said to be uninterested in breaking up their depth for Durant. Durant included the Rockets as one of his preferred destinations in a trade, alongside the Heat and Spurs.

The Phoenix Suns are moving forward with trade discussions for forward Kevin Durant. Several teams are involved, with Durant having given Phoenix preferred teams that include the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets and Miami Heat. The Minnesota Timberwolves have engaged in talks for Durant, but have held back on offering forward Jaden McDaniels. That means either Rudy Gobert or Julius Randle would need to be involved in the deal for salary-matching reasons.
