Neither the New York Knicks nor the Golden State Warriors may get the opportunity to trade for Phoenix Suns All-Star Kevin Durant in the offseason.

The Rockets and Spurs jump out as teams with a young core that may be a veteran star away from being true contenders, while the Timberwolves might mean pairing Durant with Anthony Edwards. The Knicks would also offer him the opportunity to play in a major market and pursue a title alongside Jalen Brunson.

The Phoenix Suns have lost a season-worst six games in a row, slipping in the NBA standings to 11th in the Western Conference.

The Detroit Pistons know what their NBA playoff path looks like. In the first round, the 6-seed Pistons will take on the 3-seed New York Knicks. The Knicks will have home-court advantage, but Detroit has a different kind of advantage.
