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.
Some of the top contenders expected to trade for Durant include the Minnesota Timberwolves, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Houston Rockets. However, Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report has proposed a wild four-team trade that ends up with the New York Knicks landing Durant.
"Kevin Durant, that's an interesting piece," Johnson said on ESPN's 'Get Up'. "If I'm the Knicks, the Knicks are too slow. They're not going to beat Indiana next year or these other teams. They got to get a little faster, right? And to me, Kevin Durant will allow them to get faster and be a guy that can help [Jalen] Brunson in the fourth quarter."

(Although, nagging injuries do appear to be finally creeping in for LeBron.)
