Phoenix Suns already has a new coach: Jordan Ott, former assistant of the Cleveland Cavaliers. With the first step of its reconstruction taken, the work begins to renew its roster. And that directly points to Kevin Durant and his highly likely trade. This is something Toronto Raptors want to take advantage of.
Durant doesn't seem to be staying with the Suns, and half of the NBA seems to be after him. Negotiating his trade won't be easy, but the Raptors need a plan B after learning that Giannis Antetokounmpo is now leaning more toward staying with the Bucks.
The news has been reported by Jake Fischer from The Stein Line in the NBA Rumors: "The Raptors could consider signing Kevin Durant if Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn't become available in the market."
Three years ago, in 2022, the Toronto Raptors tried to acquire Kevin Durant, when they requested his trade from the Brooklyn Nets. Now, the veteran forward would join a team in full reconstruction, needing to climb out of the Eastern Conference's pit.
