ClutchPoints: New Suns GM Brian Gregory when asked if KD and Bradley Beal will be on the team next season: “I have a very, very good relationship with both those guys. Kevin [Durant] gave me a nice hug in the weight room the other night… I had a great dinner with Brad Beal. … My main focus right now to be honest with you is finding the right head coach for those guys.”

This marks another season where neither Kevin Durant nor James Harden will make it past the second round.
Both got to their preferred destinations when they requested trades from Brooklyn. They haven’t had success.
The Nets’ big three’s best chance to win was staying put. – 8:42 AM

Doug Haller: Gregory wouldn’t comment on whether he expects Kevin Durant and Brad Beal to be on next season’s roster. Says he has a good relationship with each. -via x.com / May 6, 2025
One wild idea, for instance, would be to trade Lillard to Phoenix for Bradley Beal and at least get something from an expensive salary slot next season. Another would be putting a future first-rounder in 2031 or 2032 in play — the only ones they have left to trade — to augment the roster by dumping Kuzma turning Pat Connaughton’s $9.5 million salary into a starting-caliber player. -via New York Times / April 30, 2025
According to a source, the likelihood of Beal still being on the Suns next season is “very low,” especially since he doesn’t seem to fall in line with a lot of the attributes that Ishbia and Jones mentioned during exit interviews when describing the team’s new identity. -via gophnx.com / April 26, 2025
Kendrick Perkins: Kevin Durant is going to end up in the Houston Rocket uniform. They have the pieces. If I’m the Rockets, I’m going all in. Jabari Smith, Jalen Green, Cam Whitmore, and some picks for Kevin Durant. And don’t come give me Kevin Durant don’t have it no more. The one thing Kevin Durant will do when he gets to Houston is respect Ime Udoka because we know they have a great relationship. You pair him alongside the Thompson twin with Sengun, Fred VanVleet, the Rockets looking to make some noise. That was the one thing that they were missing in this series was a closer and Kevin Durant provides that. -via YouTube / May 5, 2025
