Kevin Durant's future in Phoenix is uncertain, with the Minnesota Timberwolves emerging as a potential trade partner. A proposed blockbuster deal could send Durant to Minnesota, pairing him with Anthony Edwards.

Sanders has a connection with NBA twins Cody Martin and Caleb Martin as the twins played at Nevada. Cody Martin finished the 2024-25 season with the Suns as Phoenix acquired him in a deal before the 2025 trade deadline that sent Jusuf Nurkic to Charlotte.

Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant responded to the viral image with a subtle jab at Smith. "C'mon Steve," Durant wrote on his Instagram story.

The Suns started this past season with Jusuf Nurkic at center. He was acquired in a trade that sent Deandre Ayton to the Portland Trail Blazers before the 2023-24 season. They later traded Nurkic to Charlotte and landed Nick Richards from the Hornets in a separate deal.

Kevin Durant averaged a team-high 26.6 points in his second full season with the Phoenix Suns. An ideal fit for him in a trade is with the Rockets.

The Phoenix Suns have the No. 29 overall pick in the NBA Draft later this month, and they need to use the selection to get a player who can add value right away

“Jordan Ott is an outstanding hire,” Vaughn said last week. “His work ethic, demeanor, passion, and deep knowledge of the game will resonate with both young and veteran players. Jordan will leave no stone unturned in pursuit of finding solutions and will be committed to building a sustainable and successful brand of basketball.”
