Kevin Durant is one of the biggest names available this offseason and new reports have determined the teams he would agree to be traded to, and it doesn't include the Knicks.

Despite reports in recent weeks that the Knicks made an offer to acquire Durant at this past season's trade deadline and that New York has interest in a potential trade for the soon-to-be 37-year-old, Durant has not made it known he wants to return to NYC.

According to multiple reports, Durant's preferred trade destinations are the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets and Miami Heat, and he would commit to those teams long-term.

Durant has one year left on his current deal -- with a cap hit of $54.7 million during the 2025-26 season. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent after next season, so any team that trades for him would want to sign him to an extension.

SNY's Ian Begley reported in the wake of Tom Thibodeau's firing that it's unlikely the Knicks would trade for Durant. Begley maintained that stance early Saturday, writing on Twitter that it's "a long shot that Durant ends up in New York" but that "important Suns voices" want to add a starting-caliber center this offseason, and while there are ways to acquire such talent, trading Durant is the "clearest path" for Phoenix.

Begley confirmed reports that the Minnesota Timberwolves are interested in Durant, with The Athletic reporting late Saturday that Phoenix and Minnesota have discussed potential deals involving Durant.

Durant, a 15-time All-Star, averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists with the Suns in 62 games last season, before an ankle injury ended his season.

In 17 seasons, Durant has averaged 27.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 4.4 assists while shooting 39.0 percent from three-point range. A four-time scoring champion, Durant is eighth on the all-time scoring list with 30,571 career points.
