NBA Suns star forward Durant was rumored to be put on the shelf before the midseason trade deadline, although it was not traded in the end, but it was rumored that the team's move made Durant unhappy, and the two parties are likely to break up this summer.

Arizona Republic's Duane Rankin revealed that the Suns could trade Durant this summer and will be looking to trade back three first-round picks and a young player before the team rebuilds around Booker.
Durant is in the final year of his contract next season, with an annual salary of about $54 million, and it is currently rumored that the Rockets are interested in trading, and there are also assets that can be provided to the Suns for trading, and the Timberwolves and Mavericks also appear on the list of interest, but according to NBA veteran reporter Stan, the Mavericks are not that interested in Durant.
"CBS Sports" reported that if the Suns only trade Durant this summer, the salary space is still not completely liberated, and Beal, who has a "bully clause", will also have to be traded away to really solve the salary problem.
