Kevin Durant's Destination Wish List Includes Two Contenders

In light of his trade request, Kevin Durant reportedly has the Phoenix Suns and the Miami Heat on his wish list as preferred destinations, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Phoenix and Miami are among two of the teams that Kevin Durant has on his wish list, sources tell ESPN, but the Nets plan to move Durant where they can get the best possible deal. With four years on his contract, there's no shortage of teams willing to unload assets for Durant.

Brooklyn, of course, will look to get the best haul possible in exchange for the future Hall of Famer.

Phoenix, who finished with the best record in the NBA last season but got bounced in the second round of the playoffs, could offer a package starting with disgruntled center Deandre Ayton and Mikael Bridges.

Durant alongside Devin Booker and Chris Paul should be a devastating trio that instantly places Phoenix as a top contender next season.

Meanwhile, the Heat could include Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro in any potential deal for KD. Durant alongside Jimmy Butler should be a deadly wing combo of the best two-way forwards in the NBA.

It would be ideal for Miami to keep Adebayo out of any deal for Durant, as the All-Star center along with Butler and Durant should make the Heat an even bigger threat for an NBA title.

Regardless of wherever he lands, the Nets should get a historically colossal return of multiple first-round picks, including pick swaps, and players in exchange for Durant.
