“The stakes are high. Unless there’s a significant run here into the playoffs for the Phoenix Suns, league sources believe that there will be real changes in Phoenix coming to the Suns. And from a roster standpoint, that likely starts with Kevin Durant,” ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania said during “NBA Countdown.”

According to NBA insider Shams Charania of ESPN, Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns will work together on a trade this offseason. Durant will make $54.

NBA insider Brian Windhorst reports that the Phoenix Suns are expected to trade Kevin Durant this summer, fueling trade speculation.

Houston's entire young core of Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, Jalen Green, Tari Eason, Jabari Smith Jr., Cam Whitmore, Jae'Sean Tate and Reed Sheppard is littered with players who would be attractive to the Suns.

If the Suns choose to move on from Durant, they must navigate the offseason with care. Potential trades would need to bring back viable assets without hampering long-term flexibility. The outcome of this season could catalyze these discussions, forcing Phoenix to reassess its trajectory and long-term outlook.

Despite having an ambitious project, the Phoenix Suns have not been able to get the expected results. After this, Kevin Durant could have made a tough decision regarding his NBA future. The Phoenix Suns may be preparing for significant roster changes.

If the Phoenix Suns fail to make the playoffs, they might restructure their roster in the summer, starting with a Kevin Durant trade.
