Kevin Durant has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets just one year after signing a 4-year, $194 million extension. Here are the most likely landing spots based on current odds:

Brooklyn Nets (+100)

• Most likely scenario despite trade request
• Team wants massive return for Durant
• Could convince KD and Kyrie to stay and contend with current roster

Phoenix Suns (+150)

• Durant's preferred destination
• Would join Booker and CP3 on 64-win team
• Potential 3-team trade involving Pacers/Ayton
• Could offer package with Bridges, Johnson, picks

Toronto Raptors (+300)

• Have attractive young assets like Barnes
• Could offer All-Star Siakam instead
• Deep roster of tradeable players
• Previously traded for disgruntled star (Kawhi)

Miami Heat (+1000)

• Recent Eastern Conference finalist
• Could build package around Herro
• Nets want Adebayo included
• NBA rules complicate potential deal

New Orleans Pelicans (+1200)

• Could offer Ingram, young players, picks
• Would pair Durant with Williamson
• Giving up Ingram may be too costly
• Surprising dark horse candidate

Other possibilities include the Warriors (+2000), Celtics (+3000), and Bulls/Nuggets/Lakers/Clippers (all +6000). While 29 teams would love Durant, few have the assets to make a realistic offer.
