The Phoenix Suns remain a contender to land Kevin Durant, but the Brooklyn Nets is not rushing and determined to explore all trade options to get the best return.
"I think Brooklyn is going to try to exhaust four, five first-round picks, four pick swaps in it, but also at least an All-Star level player," Wojnarowski said.
The Suns won't have All-Star Devin Booker in any trade offers because he’s still on his rookie max deal, and there's a collective bargaining agreement rule that prevents a roster from having two players on rookie max contracts from their previous team. The Nets got three-time All-Star Ben Simmons in the Harden trade, and Simmons was on a rookie max deal from the Philadelphia 76ers before he went to Brooklyn.
There has been widespread speculation that the Nets could view Phoenix starting wing and this year's Defensive Player of the Year runner-up Mikal Bridges in a trade package, and possibly the Suns' other All-Star Chris Paul. The Nets reportedly aren't interested in Ayton is coming off his four-year rookie deal, and a max offer for him would start at about $31 million. If he signs a max deal with a team who traded for him, his outgoing salary value on the Suns' side would count for half that amount he’ll earn in the first season of his new contract.
