NBA Rumors: Kevin Durant Requests Nets Trade; Suns, Heat Seen as 'Preferred' Teams

Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic reported that Kevin Durant requested a trade from the Nets.

The decision was made after Irving decided to opt in to the final year of his contract with the Nets. Irving wanted to fill his four-year commitment to the two teams.

According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, the Phoenix Suns are one of the preferred landing spots for KD. The Nets plan to move KD where they can get the best possible deal, despite the fact that the teams at the top of his list are not.

A four-year, $194 million extension has been agreed to by KD.
