All-Star Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant will most likely be traded sooner than later, and his preferred destinations should get three fan bases on notice. ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Saturday night that Durant's preferred landing spots for a trade are the Miami Heat, the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets.

“Durant’s list of preferred trade destinations contains three teams,” Stein wrote. “Yet it almost had four. The Stein Line has learned that the Knicks also would have featured on that list but were ultimately omitted when New York made it clear that it has decided against pursuing a trade for the NBA’s No. 8 all-time leading scorer.”
