In the days leading up to the NBA trade deadline, Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant found himself at the center of swirling trade rumors, including potential deals involving the Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat. Addressing these speculations, Durant remarked, “Just business, man. It’s part of the business. Everybody is bought and sold in this league. Anybody can be up for auction. I understand that.”
Reports indicated that while Durant was not interested in reuniting with the Warriors, he was open to a move to the Heat.
Despite the rumors, the Suns retained Durant, and he is expected to return to the court following an ankle injury.
Durant’s composed response underscores his understanding of the NBA’s business dynamics and his focus on contributing to the Suns’ success as the season progresses.
