These are difficult times for Phoenix Suns. After coming out scalded from last season with their sweep in the first round against the Minnesota Timberwolves (4-0), the desert team finds itself in a very complicated situation due to the obvious need to improve its roster, without draft capital, with a sky-high wage bill and without very attractive names outside the trio Kevin Durant – Devin Booker – Bradley Beal.
A precarious situation that is fueling all kinds of speculation about an imminent transfer of Kevin Durant. The volume of rumors increased greatly when yesterday the famous journalist Stephen A. Smith He claimed that the Suns, without many other assets apart from their stars, were going to transfer KD.
This caused the owner of Phoenix, Matt Ishbiaaddressed the noise before the first night of the draft in his X profile:
“NBA draft night is the best. Everyone who talks about drama and stories, some are right and some are wrong. My turn. Phoenix loves Kevin Durant and Kevin Durant loves Phoenix, and we will compete for a championship this year because we have the team to do it. I love draft night! Let’s go Suns!”
The General Manager of the Arizona franchise, James Joneshis also said:
“These are the things that get clicks and that everyone wants to talk about, but I think I specifically said that on May 19, when I was asked if we were going to trade Kevin Durant. I said no then and I say no now. I will continue to get asked.”
The Suns selected 22nd overall DaRon Holmes II Dayton center who traded to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for pick 28, Virginia power forward Ryan Dunn, pick 56 and two second rounds.
The 2023 champion needed to add interior depth to its roster and the Suns took advantage of it to replenish their almost empty draft coffers. Whatever. Because Kevin Durant do not touch.
