Furthermore, according to ESPN Insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Durant wants to be traded to the Phoenix Suns or 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.
