Kevin Durant Believed To Prefer To Remain With Suns Past Trade Deadline
Kevin Durant is believed to prefer not to be traded by the Phoenix Suns this week, according to reporting by Marc Stein and Jake Fischer at The Stein Line. This sentiment is held by Durant "to the extent that he can control it" according to the reporting. Furthermore, Durant has "some serious reservations" about rejoining the Warriors. Durant left the Warriors in 2019 after an on-court altercation with Draymond Green, strife with Steve Kerr and the eventual tearing of his Achilles in Game 5 of The Finals. Durant has since only reached the Conference Semifinals and has also reunited with Green, Stephen Curry and Kerr as part of USA Basketball. The Warriors could "have the gumption" to still trade for Durant even if they believe he doesn't want to return to the team.
