Durant reportedly has a wishlist (the Spurs, Rockets and Heat reportedly are on it), and with his expiring contract, he has a bit of leverage to get the deal he wants. But he is 37, not 27, and the threat of him passing on a lucrative two-year extension doesn't hold quite the same weight it once would.

Even though Kevin Durant remains one of the biggest stars in the NBA, the Phoenix Suns may not necessarily be able to cash in with a significant return if they trade the 15-time All-Star.
