Suns Continue Kevin Durant Trade Talks, Retain Devin Booker Amid Team Revamp

The Phoenix Suns experienced a disappointing 2024-25 NBA season, failing to make the playoffs and prompting uncertainty about their roster moving forward. Central to this uncertainty is the future of Kevin Durant, who the Suns might trade this offseason, with discussions involving potential trade packages including Boston Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis and suggestions to trade Durant for Sacramento Kings' Domantas Sabonis. Durant's willingness to accept certain trades, such as to the Kings, remains doubtful. Meanwhile, Devin Booker, despite receiving some All-NBA third-team votes, is considered a cornerstone of the franchise, with both the Suns and Booker showing intent to continue their partnership, and Suns owner Mat Ishbia explicitly stating no desire to move Booker. The Suns have also installed Brian Gregory as their new general manager, signaling a possible new direction. Overall, the team is at a crossroads, weighing whether to rebuild around Booker and other assets or make significant trades involving veterans like Durant to reshape the roster.
