According to Sam Amick and Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, the Suns are prioritizing getting the best offer out of Durant. They won't trade him to his preferred destinations of Houston, San Antonio and Miami if the offers are not aligned with what they want.
Citing sources, the Rockets and Suns have reportedly discussed a potential trade, but Phoenix felt underwhelmed by the offer and the perceived value of a 37-year-old Durant. The Spurs are also "conservative" in their approach, while the Timberwolves won't push the trade if KD doesn't want to play there.
