Durant reportedly has a wishlist (the Spurs, Rockets and Heat reportedly are on it), and with his expiring contract, he has a bit of leverage to get the deal he wants. But he is 37, not 27, and the threat of him passing on a lucrative two-year extension doesn't hold quite the same weight it once would.

The Phoenix Suns are reportedly getting closer to having a trade in place for veteran star Kevin Durant, albeit with a number of teams still in the running to secure his services.

The Kevin Durant sweepstakes are in full swing, as the Phoenix Suns look to find a landing spot for their franchise star of two and a half years. Among the rumored teams interested are the Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Houston Rockets, but it remains to be seen whether any of them will reach the Suns’ hefty asking price.
