Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant reportedly wanted to be traded to the New York Knicks this summer, but the feeling wasn't mutual, per Marc J. Spears of Andscape.

Durant reportedly has a wishlist (the Spurs, Rockets and Heat reportedly are on it), and with his expiring contract, he has a bit of leverage to get the deal he wants. But he is 37, not 27, and the threat of him passing on a lucrative two-year extension doesn't hold quite the same weight it once would.

The Miami Heat remain one of the top trade suitors for the Phoenix Suns' Kevin Durant as the 2025 NBA Draft nears. Durant's ongoing trade saga has taken over the NBA rumor mill, and the Heat have continued to pursue the 15-time All-Star in aggressive fashion in the past few weeks.
