The Kevin Durant sweepstakes could be resolved prior to the NBA Draft with a deal that could dramatically shake things up.

In addition to having a young core led by one-time All-Star Scottie Barnes, the Raptors also have the No. 9 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. The Raptors could keep the pick and add to their young core, or they could use it to swing a deal that could change their status in the Eastern Conference.

On Monday, ESPN confirmed that possibility, reporting that the Suns have focused on negotiations with three teams: the Rockets, Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are obviously not one of the three teams on that list. According to Shams Charania, "Durant has no desire to be in Minnesota with the Timberwolves."
