Two teams currently reported to be actively pursuing Durant, the Miami Heat and the Toronto Raptors, are unwilling to include key players in their trade packages for the former MVP.
According to Michael Grange of Sportsnet, the Raptors have been hesitant to include center Jakob Poeltl in a deal for Durant.
Meanwhile, The Stein Line reports that the Heat are not willing to part ways with standout rookie center Kel'el Ware.
With Ware off the table, the Suns are reportedly expecting at least multiple first-round picks in any potential trade.
Several teams have been linked to Durant this offseason, including the Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, Toronto Raptors, and Houston Rockets, who are considered the strongest contenders at this stage.
Durant is said to favor three teams as potential landing spots: the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, and Houston Rockets.
