One player linked to Philly has been Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant. NBA analyst Kevin O'Connor proposed a trade idea on his show, "The Kevin O'Connor Show," that would lead the 76ers to land the two-time champion. The trade proposal will also allow the organization to dump George and his four-year, $212 million maximum contract.

The San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves are creating the "most buzz" in the sweepstakes for Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant, according to The Ringer's Zach Lowe.

With the Miami Heat again intrigued by the possibility of landing Kevin Durant, a potential union could come down to whether there is mutual interest from the 15-time All-Star.
