Unintentionally traded Durant, 76ers were exposed to refuse to sell the Tanhua Sign! The US media "hoopshabit" quickly released Durant's top three best players, among which the Rockets ranked first. After Durant has no intention of owning the Big Three but missed the playoffs, the Suns faced a huge change in lineup this summer, and Durant was once again caught in trade rumors. Before the mid-season trading deadline, the Suns tried to send him to the Warriors, but were eventually rejected by Durant himself. In this case, with the offseason approaching and the draft is approaching, ESPN draft experts Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo talked about the Sixers and Durant while analyzing the draft prospects of each team.

Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo said that the Sixers may complete some trades around George + Tanhua signing on draft night. The Sixers are currently actively seeking a deal, and Durant and Markkanen are potential targets.
Due to the revelation of multiple stars and the authoritative US media ESPN, this news quickly aroused heated discussions from the outside world.
Result: Stein, a famous reporter, quickly "refuted the rumors" and said bluntly that after verification, the news that the 76ers wanted to trade Durant with the Tanhua sign was "resolutely refuted". The 76ers were unwilling to significantly adjust the draft picks down, but hoped to select a young talent that could add vitality to the core lineup.

The US media sent three next players
After being rejected by the 76ers, the US media "hoopshabit" quickly posted the top three best next players in Durant, among which the Rockets ranked first.

Third place: Clippers
Despite being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, the Clippers still had a good season. Harden returned to the All-Star after two years and was selected for the Best Third Team again. Ka also got rid of the trouble of injury and entered the offseason with a healthy state.
However, in the playoffs, the Clippers exposed their shortcomings of lacking the second stable scoring point, and could only rely on a small card to one point.
The current rumors in the market are that the Clippers may introduce three goals, and the latter also cancelled the Hornets. Compared to introducing weak teams to win three goals, if the Clippers can accept winning in the next two seasons, then Durant is obviously a more reliable choice.

Second place: Heat
When Butler left the team in the middle of the season, Herro and Adebayo exposed the lack of star quality and were swept out by the Cavaliers in the first round.
According to famous reporter Stein, it is no secret that the Heat are one of the teams that are most interested in Durant this summer. Long before Butler left the team, the Heat have always been one of Durant's most active suitors.
With Butler leaving the team this season, Riley's enthusiasm for introducing Durant will be significantly improved. He even publicly stated: "I still think veterans can play too." Although Durant was not named, it also exposed a clear intention to appreciate and sign.

No doubt, the Rockets will occupy the top spot. No matter from any perspective, the Rockets are Durant's best next player.
First of all, the Rockets have established competitiveness this season and entered the playoffs with the second place in the West. A group of young players have also shown outstanding competitiveness and talent in the playoffs.
Secondly, the Rockets clearly lack experience and key ball ability, which is exactly Durant's biggest advantage. Finally, the Rockets have multiple first-round picks from the Suns and a large number of high-quality young people, which can fully meet the trading needs of the Suns.
