NBA Rumors: The Team That Will No Longer Fight to Sign Kevin Durant

The 2024/25 season for the NBA's Phoenix Suns has been a major failure. With Mike Budenholzer fired at the end of the season, the Arizona franchise even missed out on the play-in in the Western Conference. In a team with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, things didn't go well at all.

NBA Rumors about Durant's trade, as a result, are more prevalent than ever. During the season, the Houston Rockets were the favorite to acquire him. However, now that they finished 2nd and see they don't need a player like KD to compete, they have backed out of the race.

This was reported by Marc Stein, of The Stein Line: "If the Rockets were to make a significant trade for a star, conventional wisdom has been that they will target a player closer in age to their young core."

As a result, the Suns and Durant lose one of their top candidates for reaching a trade that satisfies both parties. Nonetheless, everything still points to the star not returning to wear the Phoenix jersey.
