The dismissal of Mike Budenholzer is only the beginning of the sandstorm about to hit Phoenix this low season, and only one of the Devin Booker and Kevin Durant survive.
“From a great perspective, it is Devin Booker and where [he stands] In all this, “Shams Charania de ESPN reported Monday.” As I understand, he is still a basis of everything they do in Phoenix, everything else, he thought, has been in discussion with the Suns, except Devin Booker. ”
The “everything else” that Charania spoke in the “NBA of ESPN Today”?
Well, that part refers to Durant.
Multiple important changes are expected in the list in Phoenix that will begin with Kevin Durant.
“They told me that the Suns and Durant, as well as their commercial partner, Rich Kleiman, will work together in their next commercial home,” Charania said.
The other Max Phoenix contract player, as Bradley Beal, 31, was not mentioned. It brings a completely different dilemma with its non -trade clause and its lower game. Beal averaged 17 points, 3.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds.
The commercial rumors surrounding Durant swirled throughout the season while the Suns fought before finishing 36-46 and missing the game tournament.
“For the team with the highest payroll in the NBA, it is clear that the property there, Matt Ishbia, has put all its resources, all in this group,” Charania said. “But now, in the future, they have to make important decisions.”
If Durant was exchanged, it would be the fifth different team of the 36 -year -old race.
He spent nine seasons with Thunder, including his rookie season when the franchise was still the Seattle Supersonics, three seasons with the Warriors and approximately two and a half seasons each of the networks and the Suns.
Where could you go this time?
“Much of that [be determined] According to the playoffs and which team feels that they are a Kevin Durant far from winning a championship, “said Charania.
As for Booker, he is prepared to see another new chief coach go through Phoenix, assuming to stay.
In the 10 seasons of the 28 -year -old NBA, it is a frying of seven different chief coaches. Only one of them trained Booker for more than one season. Monty Williams is the only exception, since it was with the 2019-2023 franchise and helped take Phoenix to the NBA finals.
