I would think Boston, but do they want to move Brown and picks for Durant?
Miami would just be Hero, filler and picks
Memphis is interesting, but I'm not sure their package would beat what the Suns could do (assuming Ja isn't in it). Plus, do teams like New Orleans and Memphis want to trade all their assets for Durant?

Brown and picks I guess makes sense. Not really sure what Brooklyn plans to do though.

If they blow it all up, I guess Phoenix for 4 1st rounders and some pick swaps works as well.

It's really tough because I don't think we've ever had a star under contract for this many years available for a trade. You almost can't put a value on him with all the restrictions there are on pick trading and salary matching. Makes me wonder if Brooklyn would be better off just calling his bluff and refusing to trade him for now.
