The player’s agent confirmed his desire to leave with ” the need to change environment“, and the two main tracks lead to Miami and Phoenix. These would be the two options favored by Kevin Durant.
But ESPN, through Adrian Wojnarowski, slips a 3rd track to watch: Toronto. As in 2018, when the Raptors had recovered Kawhi Leonard, Masai Ujiri might convince Durant to join Canada.

They have a leader like Masai Ujiri, who did not hesitate to take the risk of recovering Kawhi Leonard when he had one year left on his contract… »
On paper, the Raptors do have a host of young talent and draft picks that can appeal to the Nets. But how far are they willing to go?
« Are they going to offer Scottie Barnes? I think he’s a player that Toronto, under almost any circumstances, wouldn’t like to part with. There is Pascal Siakam and all the other talented players… Contracts that might stick. I think you have to watch Toronto to see how involved they might get on Kevin Durant« .
