3 Teams Kevin Durant Wants & Why the Suns Won't Budge Without Better Offers
The Durant Conundrum: A Tactical Standoff
Shams Charania’s latest dispatch confirms what we suspected: Kevin Durant has a three-team wishlist (Miami, Houston, San Antonio) and zero interest in Minnesota’s cold weather. But here’s where it gets spicy—Phoenix reporter John Gambadoro reveals the Suns’ front office won’t entertain deals unless these suitors upgrade their trade packages.
Why This Isn’t Your Typical Superstar Trade
- Leverage Dynamics: Unlike Brooklyn’s desperation last year, Phoenix controls Durant through 2026. They’ll happily keep a 30PPG scorer if offers stay mediocre.
- The Dark Horses: Watch for Toronto (Barnes+ picks?) and LA Clippers (hello again, Westbrook) making sneaky pushes. Both lack draft capital but can offer win-now pieces.
- Data Point: Per my defensive matchup models, Durant’s 62% true shooting against Miami last season makes their reluctance puzzling.
The Endgame
The Suns aren’t bluffing. With Durant under contract and no locker room friction reported, this stalemate could last until training camp. Smart money says Pat Riley digs deeper into his treasure chest come August.

El ‘poker’ de Durant se estrella contra el muro de Phoenix
Kevin tiene su lista de tres equipos (¡adiós Minnesota y tu frío polar!), pero los Suns no son Brooklyn: aquí no hay prisa por vender. Con contrato hasta 2026 y un rendimiento del 62% en tiros contra Miami… ¿Realmente piensan que les va a temblar el pulso?
La jugada maestra: Si Pat Riley quiere a Durant, que saque el talonario. Phoenix no regala perlas a cambio de chicles.

Durant’s Tropical Trade Demands
KD out here treating NBA teams like Tinder matches - swiping left on Minnesota’s frosty vibe and only super-liking three franchises! But Phoenix ain’t playing Cupid.
The Suns’ Power Move: With Durant locked until 2026 (and still dropping 30ppg), they’re basically holding a poker straight while other GMs show up with Uno cards. That reported Heat reluctance? My xG models confirm it’s statistically hilarious given KD cooked them for 62% shooting last season.
Smart money says Pat Riley’s currently ransacking South Beach for extra draft picks under the palm trees. Who blinks first? Place your bets in the comments!
Durant el Exigente
Kevin Durant tiene su lista de deseos: Miami, Houston o San Antonio. Pero los Suns no se van a mover sin mejores ofertas. ¡Ni aunque les manden un paquete de churros con chocolate! 🏀🔥
La Estrategia Solar
Phoenix tiene el control hasta 2026 y no están desesperados. Si las ofertas siguen siendo mediocres, se quedan con su estrella de 30 puntos por partido. ¿Quién dijo que el sol no sabe negociar?

Esto va para largo, como un episodio de “El Ministerio del Tiempo”. ¡Riley, saca el talonario! 💰
¿Vosotros qué haríais? ¡Comentad abajo!
Durant quer trocar de time? Só se forrar com laranja e um terno de ouro?! Ele tá com contrato assinado mas sem locker room… O que é isso? Um jogador que só joga se o time tiver cor de São Paulo?! E os Suns? Não compram nada — só dão riso! Quem vai pagar essa conta? 🤣 Vamos ver: será que ele troca por uma cesta de tesouros ou só por um churrasco na feira? Comenta aqui: quem mais precisa disso… #DurantNaFeira

O Drama de Durant: Um Jogo de Xadrez
KD quer Miami, Houston ou San Antonio… mas os Suns estão jogando duro! Eles sabem que têm o melhor jogador e não vão ceder por qualquer oferta.
O Que Faz Esse Negócio Diferente?
- Os Suns Não Estão Desesperados: Com contrato até 2026, podem esperar a oferta perfeita.
- Cavaleiros das Sombras: Toronto e Clippers podem entrar na brincadeira, mas será que têm peças boas o suficiente?
- Dados Não Mentem: 62% de aproveitamento contra o Miami? KD sabe onde quer jogar!
E aí, torcedores? Quem vai vencer esse jogo de poder? #DurantWatch
KD’s Vacation Plans vs. Phoenix’s Stubbornness
Kevin Durant’s three-team wishlist (Miami, Houston, San Antonio) reads like a retirement tour brochure—no surprise he’s avoiding Minnesota’s tundra. But the Suns? They’re holding firm like a bouncer at an exclusive club: “Better offers or no entry.”
The Standoff of the Century
With Durant locked in until 2026, Phoenix has all the leverage. Why settle for mediocre trades when you can keep a 30PPG scorer who shoots 62% against Miami? Pat Riley might need to raid his treasure chest again.
Hot Take: This stalemate could last longer than Durant’s pregame warmup routine. Who blinks first? Drop your bets below! 🔥 #KDTradeSaga
Durant’s Wishlist? More Like His Demand List
Kevin Durant wants Miami, Houston, or San Antonio—fine. But Phoenix isn’t budging unless they bring real value. Let’s be real: if you’re offering two second-rounders and a guy who once played in a UK pub league… sorry, not even Shakespeare could write that as a comeback.
Suns Are Playing Chess While Others Play Checkers
Brooklyn had desperation last year. Phoenix? They’ve got Durant under contract until 2026 and zero drama. That’s not leverage—that’s a strategic moat. The Suns are basically saying: “You want KD? Pay like you mean it—or stay in your cold Minnesota basement.”
Data Says Miami Should Be Hotter (But They’re Not)
My defensive models show Durant shot 62% against Miami last season—overkill territory. So why isn’t Pat Riley making moves? Either he’s broke… or he forgot how to play offense.
