With Brooklyn Nets superstar scorer Kevin Durant demanding a trade, just about every team in the NBA has likely placed a call to general manager Sean Marks to find out the potential cost. You can add Washington Wizards GM Tommy Sheppard to that group.

According to Sam Amico of Hoops Wire, the Wizards have “an interest” in Durant, but the talks reportedly never got far, as they were described only as “exploratory” to this point. It never hurts to ask, right?

In the same report, Amico stated Washington’s pursuit of Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell was “much more aggressive”.

Both trades appear unlikely without the Wizards being willing to part with Bradley Beal, and that’s not happening either. The long-time Wizard recently signed a five-year, $251 million extension which includes a full no-trade clause.
