Zach Lowe later clarified that he didn't mean Kevin Durant would end up on the Celtics, but Boston could help facilitate a deal as a third team.

In early February, the Phoenix Suns attempted to trade Kevin Durant to the Golden State Warriors without his knowledge. He eventually got wind of the negotiations and squashed the deal, but the writing was on the wall at that point.

According to a report from NBA reporter Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Memphis Grizzlies are interested in pulling off a trade for Durant. After moving on from Desmond Bane in a blockbuster trade with the Orlando Magic over the weekend, the Grizzlies are still open for business.
