Kevin Durant is a cornerstone of the Phoenix Suns and the team has made it clear that they want to keep him for a long time.

However, if they do decide to part ways with Durant, where will he go?

According to Bovada, per NBACentral, the Washington Wizards are the favorites to land Durant in a potential trade.

They have +325 odds, followed by the Milwaukee Bucks with +375, the Miami Heat with +425, and the Los Angeles Lakers with +600.

Behind them are the Oklahoma City Thunder (+650), the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets (+1000), the Philadelphia 76ers (+1800), and the Denver Nuggets (+2200).

Will any of these teams get him, or will he stay put in Phoenix?

Just a few months ago, the idea of Durant leaving the Suns was far-fetched, to put it gently.

However, the team is clearly looking to make some trades, and Durant might be a part of them.

They want to land Jimmy Butler, but they are having a difficult time moving Bradley Beal with his no-trade clause.

They also continue to struggle in the standings and are currently the 10th team in the West with a 25-24 record.

If they feel they can’t make any moves, they might listen to offers for Durant and then pursue one that will give them the best chance of moving forward.

Durant to Washington would be interesting for a few reasons.

Firstly, Durant is from Washington, DC, so he would be able to play for his hometown team.

But more importantly, the Wizards are a very bad team right now, and it would be fascinating to see Durant attempt to rebuild them and get them back on track.

It should also be noted that there have been rumors of the Golden State Warriors attempting to acquire Durant, even though they don’t appear on this list.

The truth is that many teams would try to get Durant, but will it come to that or will he remain in Phoenix?
