His two favorite objections were the Phoenix Suns, and the Miami Heat.

Deandre Ayton can be excluded by the Suns in an agreement until January.

Bam Adebayo cannot be sent to Brooklyn by the Heat due to the DesignatedRookie rule.

Shams Charania identifies three groups as "serious threats" to Durant's landing: the Heat, Toronto Raptors, and the Boston Celtics.

In July, the Celtics offered Brooklyn an exchange package that included Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and a first-round draft selection.

However, Brooklyn is looking for a more serious arrangement.
