While Kevin Durant reportedly prefers to play elsewhere, the Phoenix Suns haven't given up hope he would accept a trade to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

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."

Minnesota does not want to make a seismic change if Durant isn't on board. The question is whether there’s any chance he comes around to it.
