On Monday, ESPN confirmed that possibility, reporting that the Suns have focused on negotiations with three teams: the Rockets, Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are obviously not one of the three teams on that list. According to Shams Charania, "Durant has no desire to be in Minnesota with the Timberwolves."

Durant has reportedly narrowed down his preferred teams to the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets. As a former Texas Longhorn, the Lone Star State connection can't be overlooked. Nonetheless, the 15-time All-Star is notably extension-eligible and ostensibly wants to maximize the earnings of what could be a final payday.

In a recent segment of "Get Up," ESPN insider Brian Windhorst has identified the Minnesota Timberwolves as the favorite to land superstar forward Kevin Durant this offseason.
