There’s a rising belief around the league that the Phoenix Suns could trade Kevin Durant before Thursday’s deadline, according to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer of The People’s Insider.
The Suns are also talking to other teams than the Warriors about a potential deal.
Fischer and Stein add that the Suns have shown a “greater willingness” to talk Durant trades than in the past.
It is reported that the Suns are asking the Warriors for a package that includes Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga.
The Suns are willing to trade Durant in order to acquire Jimmy Butler. Butler has blocked multiple trade options in order to try to join the Suns.
Durant has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder.
