It was the same old story for the Phoenix Suns during their recent matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. Despite strong performances from Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, the Suns were handed a 120-118 defeat at the hands of the Grizzlies.
The Suns are still the 11th seed in the Western Conference despite their recent decline to a 30-35 record. Keeping the Suns’ current status in mind, various rumors have developed about Durant’s likely future with the organisation.
“Just part of the business, man,” in response to rumours of an NBA trade. According to certain predictions, the Slim Reaper and the Suns will mutually decide to trade for each other this summer. The Dallas Mavericks have been identified as Durant’s primary destination if that is the case.
In fact, multiple reports have suggested that the Mavs are likely to go all-in to acquire the 2x NBA champion, but NBA insider Marc Stein dropped a brutal report to squash those dreams.
“Dallas has been repeatedly described as a potential Durant suitor, before the deadline and since, but I continue to hear that reports of its interest have been overstated,” Marc Stein reported on his substack. “The Mavericks, based on my best read, are not currently planning for a three-star construction. Securing Irving’s future as their backcourt anchor after stunningly surrendering Luka is a priority — Irving holds a $44 million player option for next season — and it is likewise obvious that Dallas would have to gut its depth to make a competitive trade offer for Durant.”
Despite being hit with a wave of injuries, including an ACL tear for Kyrie Irving, the Mavs are reportedly focused on securing the veteran guard for the forseeable future.
