The Houston Rockets are making a push for Kevin Durant.

The Rockets have a firm offer on the table for Durant, sources told The Athletic's Sam Amick and Jon Krawczynski.

However, the Suns have been seriously underwhelmed by the proposal, Amick and Krawczynski add.

Houston is reportedly one of Durant's desired landing spots, along with the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs. However, none of those teams have yet to present a compelling offer, per Amick and Krawczynski.

As a result, the Suns are reportedly looking to garner better offers on the market.

Phoenix has also had discussions with the Timberwolves, although Durant seemingly has no desire to play for Minnesota. The Suns are reportedly hoping Durant could come around to the idea of suiting up for the T-Wolves, per Amick and Krawczynski. However, Minnesota has apparently been made aware that the two-time NBA champion specifically wants to play for the Spurs.

San Antonio has reportedly been conservative in its pursuit of Durant.

Durant averaged 26.6 points, six boards, 4.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks across 62 appearances last season.

The 36-year-old has one season left on a four-year, $194.2-million contract.
