1. Kevin Durant, Phoenix Suns
If you're building an offseason wish list, you might as well dream big, right? Is a Durant deal likely for Denver? Not at all. That said, it hardly feels impossible. His name is prominently featured on the rumor mill, and given Phoenix's inability to contend and near total lack of assets, a summer split seems best for everyone. Denver, meanwhile, could conceivably build an offer around Michael Porter Jr., either as a new running mate for Devin Booker or as a centerpiece for a third team who sends someone else back to the Suns. The idea of Durant in Denver is compelling enough to give this a lot of thought.

That's basically Durant's scouting report.
