Kevin Durant Urged to Join Miami Heat by NBA Analyst Amid Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Phoenix Suns and 15-time NBA All-Star Kevin Durant are expected to mutually find a trade suitor in the coming days or weeks. As Durant's trade saga continues to unfold, the Miami Heat have remained a top trade destination for the 36-year-old.

Minnesota does not want to make a seismic change if Durant isn't on board. The question is whether there’s any chance he comes around to it.

As shared by ESPN’s Shams Charania, Durant has informed those around the league that the Miami Heat, Houston Rockets, and San Antonio Spurs are the three franchises he would commit to if traded from the Phoenix Suns. That significantly narrows the field in what has been a highly speculated trade market.
