“KD so sorry. look at what his reputation is now lol,” the fan wrote.

Durant responded: “Well check ball then.”

Suns Unlikely to Move Kevin Durant

Wojnarowski slightly backed off the idea of Durant being dealt after his initial report. He cited the Suns’ plan of running it back with their current group and trying to win a championship with the core of Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. However, he did note how the Rockets’ move could come into play down the line.

“As intrigued as the Rockets have been about Durant, they’re determined to use the Suns picks to be aggressive on deals elsewhere now, sources tell ESPN. Phoenix has made it clear that they want to run it back with this group, and Houston is seeking a major upgrade now,” Wojnarowski said.

He continued: “Rockets possess a pick swap with Suns in 2025, Suns’ pick in 2027 and could end up with the Suns’ pick in 2029 based on contingencies. If the Suns are ever faced with breaking up team, Houston’s also in prime position to pursue a younger Devin Booker. For now, Phoenix is trying to win.”

Suns Star Kevin Durant Had Issues With Role

Durant’s first full season with the Suns didn’t go as planned. He averaged 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5.0 assists, but it was a year of ups and downs. It ended with a mighty thud as Phoenix was swept in the first round by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

After the elimination, The Athletic reported that Durant had an issue with his role within the offense.

“Sources briefed on the matter told The Athletic that Durant never felt comfortable with his role in Phoenix’s offense alongside Booker and Beal this season,” Shams Charania and Doug Haller of The Athletic wrote. “Those sources said Durant had persistent issues with the offense, feeling that he was being relegated to the corner far too often and not having the proper designs to play to his strengths as the offense was built around pick-and-rolls.”
