Durant has confirmed that he’s nonetheless a supremely proficient basketball participant, Boozer mentioned.
Pairing him with Booker was the best thought when Phoenix pursued him just a few years in the past, however issues simply haven’t labored out as anticipated.
However that doesn’t imply it’s time to minimize ties with Durant and transfer in a special route.
Many reviews have said that the Suns will attempt to ship Durant to a different crew, and so they hope to get a giant return in alternate for him.
That is principally as a result of the crew is so strapped for money and doesn’t have plenty of leverage or flexibility relating to most of their contracts.
For instance, they need to preserve Booker and construct the crew round him, and so they can not transfer Bradley Beal because of his no-trade clause.
That leaves them with few choices outdoors of Durant, who may very well be a part of a monster commerce.
However this four-game successful streak is perhaps altering some minds, and it may have an effect on what the Suns do.
Nevertheless, maybe it’s too late, and there’s no avoiding a Durant commerce in the summertime.
