The Brooklyn Nets won't consider anything less than Scottie Barnes from the Toronto Raptors in a potential Kevin Durant trade.

While the Raptors do have other young and All-Star caliber players along with a full arsenal of draft picks, Brooklyn's unwillingness to accept a deal without Barnes has made it unlikely Durant ends up in Toronto. The Miami Heat are reportedly "very motivated" to add durant, Wojnarowski said, however, Bam Adebayo and Ben Simmons cannot play together on Brooklyn, complicating potential trade packages. Toronto has so far shown no interest in trading Barnes who is coming off a Rookie of the Year campaign and whose salary is so small that it would require the Raptors to add multiple other valuable players into the trade package just to make the salaries match.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski recently reported that Barnes was a "non-starter" for the Raptors in any Durant discussion.

The Suns and Heat are two teams known to be on Durant's wish list. Last week, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Barnes was a " non-starter" for the Raptors in any Durant discussion. "Toronto doesn't want to part with Scottie Barnes. That's their stance," Wojnarowski said.

Due to these complications and Brooklyn's rumored affinity for Barnes, the Raptors were seen as ideal candidates. A deal with the Heat would also prove difficult. Toronto has no intention of parting with the reigning Rookie of the Year, according to Wojnarowski.
