Kevin Durant Suitor Fading From Trade Talks For Key Reason After Recent Report

Despite this, many other teams, including the Minnesota Timberwolves, have also been linked to Durant but he has made it clear which teams he would be willing to join and potentially sign an extension with this summer.

For the Heat, they tried to land Durant at the trade deadline but failed to do so as the Suns elected to keep their star forward on their roster.

That may change this offseason but a recent report does not bode well for Miami’s chances of landing the future Hall of Famer unless they are willing to include a key player in trade talks.

According to Suns insider John Gambadoro, the Heat are currently viewed as the least likely team in the Durant sweepstakes to land the star forward.

Phoenix has not been intrigued by Miami’s offers thus far as the Heat have been unwilling to include center Kel’el Ware in trade talks.

Of course, Ware put together an impressive rookie season with the Heat as he was even inserted into the starting lineup midway through the year next to Bam Adebayo inside.

With the Suns in desperate need of a center, there is no doubt that they would want Miami to include Ware in trade talks for Durant but the Heat have yet to do so thus far.

If that continues to be the case, the Heat may be out of the sweepstakes for Durant as the Suns will look elsewhere to find a better trade package.
