The Kevin Durant shortlist has reportedly been whittled down to three teams.
Durant has become the offseason’s biggest prize. Reports emerged earlier this month that the Phoenix Suns have gotten “aggressive” in searching for a suitable trade partner to offload Durant.
Durant’s contract status is a critical factor in the negotiations. The 15-time All-Star is entering the final year of his current deal, which will pay him $54.7 million next season.
On Saturday, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Durant is only willing to sign a long-term extension with three teams: the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, and Houston Rockets.
