After the failure of his Big 3 experiment with Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant needs a change of scenery. And even with the NBA Finals going on, this has been a point of raging discussion. But even though we always knew that this was what Kevin wanted, we weren’t really sure about the Phoenix Suns’ motivation. Well, now we do thanks to an NBA Insider who has an update on the KD trade.
Even at 36, Kevin Durant remains among the best players and most efficient scorers in the NBA. But despite having KD, the Suns failed to even qualify for the Playoffs. And it seems the organization thinks it’s down to having stars but not the right pieces for a winning team. So, according to Knicks insider Ian Begley, that’s what they’ll look to address by trading Kevin Durant. As he explained the situation, he also gave us an update on the potential acquisition of KD by the Knicks.
“One thing worth noting on potential Kevin Durant trades: there are important Suns voices who want to add a starting-caliber C this offseason. There are several pathways to do this, but KD trade obviously gives PHX the clearest path to one. As many others have said, MIN is among teams with current interest in Durant. Nothing has changed for me with the Knicks and Durant, despite the reported interest earlier this week. Still see it at as a long shot that Durant ends up in NY,” wrote Begley on X.
