While Kevin Durant reportedly prefers to play elsewhere, the Phoenix Suns haven't given up hope he would accept a trade to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

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.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Monday that the future Hall of Famer has “no desire” to join the Timberwolves, preferring instead to be traded to the Heat, Spurs or Rockets.
