The Rockets and Spurs jump out as teams with a young core that may be a veteran star away from being true contenders, while the Timberwolves might mean pairing Durant with Anthony Edwards. The Knicks would also offer him the opportunity to play in a major market and pursue a title alongside Jalen Brunson.

Kevin Durant wasn't traded at this year's NBA trade deadline, but the Phoenix Suns superstar reportedly had "mutual interest" in getting sent to five teams. According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Durant would have been open to getting traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks, Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat .

The Atlanta Hawks have been an interesting fringe playoff team this season but they looked for a massive upgrade by trading for Kevin Durant.
