Lowe explained on his podcast that while he does not expect a deal to happen overnight, he does believe teams are looking into the possibilities.
Durant, on one hand, seems to be purely focused on basketball. However, on the other hand, he may be keeping an eye on the rumor mill as well.
KD was keen on being traded to several teams including the Suns and the Heat
It is important to remember that KD had initially requested a trade in the off-season, with a list of teams he was interested in being traded to. Primary among them were the Phoenix Suns and the Miami Heat.
Phoenix and Miami are among two of the teams that Kevin Durant has on his wish list, sources tell ESPN, but the Nets plan to move Durant where they can get the best possible deal. With four years on his contract, there’s no shortage of teams willing to unload assets for Durant.

With the trade deadline approaching at a snail’s pace, it will be interesting to see how things unfold. Especially if things remain dicey in Brooklyn.
