That is not the case, the Grizzlies have shot down overtures about either Ja Morant or Jaren Jackson Jr., a league source told NBC Sports. That echoes other reporting, specifically at ESPN, that Memphis is looking to retool around Morant and re-sign Jackson.

Durant has made it clear that he wants to land with one of three franchises: the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs or Miami Heat.

Suns GM Brian Gregory is under pressure to secure a good return for Durant, facing scrutiny similar to the Mavericks' trade of Luka Dončić.
