However, the Suns aren’t racing to trade Durant, and the Rockets are content with developing the promising assets on their roster, making it unrealistic for the Texas product to suit up for Houston this season.

Michael Pina of The Ringer came out firing with a piece as to why the Suns should actually move superstar F Kevin Durant instead of continuing to go "all-in" on the title pursuit in the midst of a potentially second disappointing season in a row.

One sports writer from The Ringer suggested the Phoenix Suns should depart from their current “Big 3” makeup and move toward a rebuild, imploring that majority owner Mat Ishbia and staff trade Kevin Durant.

Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant delivered a strong message to teams employing double teams against him during games.

In Bitar’s trade proposal, the Suns would send Durant to the Warriors for Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Buddy Hield, Kevon Looney, Lindy Waters III, a 2025 first-round pick, and a 2029 first-round pick. The Suns’ 2024-25 campaign has been disappointing thus far, but Durant is playing some of the best basketball of his career.
