What other teams make sense for Kevin Durant?

It would be insane to think that there’s only one team still standing on Kevin Durant’s preference list. Could it absolutely be so, yes, but I’d be extremely shocked if it was. That said, what other teams around the league theoretically make sense for Durant?

The Toronto Raptors, if they can complete a trade while keeping Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes on the roster, make sense. The Memphis Grizzlies too. A duo of Ja Morant and Kevin Durant would be among the best in the league and in the Western Conference. The Golden State Warriors could probably theoretically make it happen, but there’s no way that happens again. RIGHT?

And the New Orleans Pelicans are probably the other team that could snag him, with Brandon Ingram being at the center of a potential package.

Question is, would Durant be open to any of those situations?
