Overview

• The Suns are exploring offers for Kevin Durant from the Miami Heat, Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and re-engaging with the Minnesota Timberwolves despite Durant’s refusal to play there.
• Phoenix has made clear that it will prioritize acquiring proven impact players over draft picks in any deal.
• The Timberwolves’ package reportedly includes Rudy Gobert, Donte DiVincenzo and a first-round pick, but Durant has privately vetoed Minnesota as a destination.
• Durant retains one year and $54.7 million on his contract and can sign a two-year, $112 million extension with his next team, a key factor in trade discussions.
• Anthony Edwards has declined to recruit Durant to Minnesota, and offers from the Heat, Spurs and Rockets have yet to excite Phoenix’s front office.
