Kevin Durant Trade Update Surfaces After Chris Paul News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kevin Durant’s future is dominating the NBA headlines once again. After a lackluster 36-46 season with the Phoenix Suns, marked by injuries and underperformance, Durant appears destined for another major trade.

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Phoenix Suns are hiring Cleveland Cavaliers assistant Jordan Ott as their new head coach. The Suns fired Mike Budenholzer after one season. They also fired Frank Vogel in 2024 after hiring him in 2023.

It turns out that the Golden State Warriors weren't the only team at the February NBA trade deadline that made a play for Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant. The New York Knicks also made an offer for Durant at the deadline, and the interest between the parties was "mutual," according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
