Overview

• Toronto’s offer proposed either RJ Barrett or Immanuel Quickley alongside draft picks but explicitly excluded center Jakob Poeltl
• League sources indicate the Suns are demanding a higher-caliber proposal from Miami, San Antonio or Houston, the teams Durant has identified for a long-term stay
• Jakob Poeltl averaged a career-high 14.5 points and 9.6 rebounds in 2024-25, making him a nonnegotiable piece for the Raptors
• Kevin Durant enters his final contract year with $54.7 million remaining and can sign a two-year, $112 million extension with his next team
• President Masai Ujiri is willing to gamble on Durant as a one-year rental, recalling the franchise’s 2019 championship run with Kawhi Leonard
