NBA rumours: Insider reports that Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, the Suns’ “ideal,” have returned

All-Star Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns has been the subject of trade rumours during the 2024–25 NBA season. He was almost traded to the Golden State Warriors prior to the NBA trade deadline.

Simultaneously, Devin Booker was also entertained by some other teams. Despite the Suns saying that they will not trade Booker, nothing is off of the table.

In a report via Duane Rankin of AZCentral (Arizona Republic), he detailed what the team could get from trading either Durant or Booker.

“Sources informed The Republic the most ideal return on a Durant trade is regaining three first-round picks and a young player as part of a multi-team deal tied to getting under the second apron,” Rankin said.

“Sources informed The Republic the Suns could probably get four first-round picks for Booker and a rising star in his third or fourth year.”

Considering how this season has gone, the Suns will try anything to salvage it. The furthest the team went with Durant was the second round. Even then, they lost to the Denver Nuggets, who ended up winning the Finals that year.
