Trade negotiations appear to be in something of a standoff, with Houston having a “firm offer” for Kevin Durant while Phoenix remains “underwhelmed.”

Kevin Durant's trade preference reportedly is one of the most exciting young teams in the league. Per The Athletic's Sam Amick and Jon Krawczynski, the Phoenix Suns star prefers to be traded to the San Antonio Spurs over the other interested teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Heat and Houston Rockets.

All along, we've heard that three teams were at the top of Kevin Durant's list: the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets and Miami Heat. All three made varying degrees of sense. There was not, at least initially, any separation within that group. They were listed together.
