Durant could warrant as high as a top-five pick in this year’s draft, depending on which team pulls the trigger. But it’s most likely that Durant would end up on a real contender and less of a pretender like the Suns, which didn’t even win a playoff series while he was in Arizona.

While the Knicks could offer the Suns a center like Mitchell Robinson or Karl-Anthony Towns, Phoenix likely wants draft capital in a return for Durant. New York is a little strapped for draft picks after acquiring forward Mikal Bridges last offseason.
