Suns Insider Takes Jab at Heat After Failed Kevin Durant Trade Talks originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Phoenix Suns kicked off their offseason in a major way as they agreed to trade Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets on Sunday.

The Kevin Durant sweepstakes were somewhat unusual among star trades in how theoretically accessible he was. Yes, he attempted to steer negotiations towards certain teams, but the price was low enough that almost anyone theoretically could have gotten into the running before he ultimately landed with the Houston Rockets.

The Miami Heat had the option to try to trade for Kevin Durant while keeping Kel'el Ware, ESPN's Shams Charania said on Monday's episode of the Pat McAfee Show.
