The NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and Kevin Durant remains in Phoenix despite speculation around his future. So where to here for both parties amid a ‘very fragile situation’? After Booker, Durant was their best trade asset that had garnered genuine interest, plus the Suns were limited with what moves they could make being in the second apron and with basically all their salary cap tied up to their ‘Big Three’.
The Suns, clearly, are pot committed to Durant, who’s eligible for an extension this off-season and has one year remaining on his $50 million plus salary. “I saw Kevin at a football game a few weeks ago and I asked him before all this, I said, ‘Hey, are you good? Are you happy?’” Myers said on ESPN. Myers went on to suggest Durant should now sit down with Suns ownership and have an “honest conversation” about where they stand.
Unless the Suns can really turn things around, Durant will be a big watch next off-season and the possibility of him finding a new team. They could well be the team to watch this off-season for a possible Durant move, particularly given Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun’s contracts become tradeable, despite the rising Rockets sticking with their young core for now.“I think the Houston Rockets make the most sense. Because Houston has all of Phoenix’s draft picks in 2025, 2027 and 2029,” ESPN insider Bobby Marks said.All in all, it’s been a forgettable trade deadline for the Suns as they try and regroup and build back morale.
