On Saturday, Durant released a list of his preferred landing spots, naming Houston, San Antonio, and Miami. Charania reported that the Suns are determined to make the best deal for themselves regardless of what Durant wants,

The Miami Heat (+250) and Houston Rockets (+250) are now tied for the highest odds as of Tuesday, June 17, to have Durant at the start of the 2025-26 season. The Heat had the best odds Monday, June 16, at +200. The San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves are each at +350. The T-Wolves had the highest odds Sunday, June 15, at +160.

Remember when the Raptors traded for Kawhi Leonard even though he wanted to go to the Lakers? One year. One title. Then he was gone. Worth every second. Or when the Thunder traded for Paul George even though he also wanted to land in Los Angeles?
