The Raptors suddenly join Durant s battle! Suns demand is exposed: Is the Heat s offer the most attractive?

On June 15, famous reporter Stein brought the latest progress in the Durant transaction. Many people familiar with the situation said that the Suns really plan to trade KD no later than the June 26 draft, and it is best to complete the transaction earlier. The Raptors suddenly joined the Durant battle, and the Heat's offer was considered the most attractive.

reported that the Sun had peddled Durant on this year's trading deadline, which made people more considerable for possible deals. Several teams have been linked to the former league MVP, and the trading market has been formed. The Suns also hope to send Allen and O'Neal away in the KD deal to further reduce the team's salary. Sources say the Suns want to get a certain amount of quality draft assets in return when trading Durant, so they have been doing due diligence on first-round picks at different levels because they believe they will get at least one meaningful draft pick in the draft 11 days from now. Phoenix currently only holds No. 29 and No. 52 draft picks. At this stage, things are clearly volatile, but league sources say the two most frequently mentioned teams in Durant’s potential next home are the Timberwolves and the Heat. They are also the top two in Durant's next odds ranking.

Stein also revealed that a surprising team from the East is entering the conversation, which is the Toronto Raptors, who seem eager to bring in another superstar.

"What you hear now about Kevin Durant is that some teams are saying, you know, we know he has only one year left for a contract, about $55 million. We're willing to gamble on him. The Toronto Raptors are one of these teams," Stein wrote. "The Raptors have already done that. They have bet on a forward with a one-year contract and destined to enter the Hall of Fame, the deal got Kawhi Leonard, won the championship, and then immediately lost Leonard."

Spurs and Rockets - and the Clippers and Raptors, who are regarded as dark horses - have varying degrees of interest in trading Durant. It is widely believed that joining the Texas-based Spurs or the Rockets is very attractive to Durant himself. The Suns are not interested in the players the Spurs have provided in negotiations between the two teams so far, the source added. Obviously, it is speculated that Durant will be eager to get the opportunity to play side by side with Vampan Yama, but the outside world also believes that the Spurs are only willing to discuss players like Wassel, Kelden Johnson and Harrison Barnes. It is simply impossible to get the Spurs to hand over the newly elected Rookie of the Year for Durant or the second pick in the draft.

Also, the Heat are really pursuing Durant again—just like they chased him on the February trade deadline. Ultimately, from the Suns’ perspective, the Heat’s offer may even prove to be the most attractive. Sources said the Heat ranked high on the list of trading destinations he expected when Durant asked the Nets to trade himself. Remember, the Heat also tried to switch from the Suns to Durant in multiple trading conversations about Butler. However, there have been reports that the Heat are unwilling to include Adebayo, Shero or Weil in the transaction about Durant. They prefer to use Hax or Jovic + salary matching chips (Wigkins/Dunro) + multiple first rounds as the basis for the quotation. The Heat can trade up to 3 first rounds.
