The Phoenix Suns’ trade rumors surrounding Kevin Durant have subsided since the NBA star chose to publicly shame Justin Bieber’s ex-bodyguard for making some ridiculous statements on social media.

Kenny Hamilton, who was hired to guard the world-renowned artist when he was fourteen years old, took to Instagram to flaunt his basketball talents and even went as far as to suggest he could outshoot Durant in terms of hitting the basket.But the legendary sportsman wasted no time putting an end to the speculation, responding with a resolute, “Imma need footage next time brother!!” He obviously did not believe his friend’s claims about his performance on the court and insisted on seeing evidence to back up his claims.

Having worked as Justin Bieber’s talent manager and head of security during his adolescent years and early career breakout, Hamilton is now the head of the CHS Group. Bieber ruled the music landscape in the 2010s.

Want Durant from Rockets?At the age of 35, Durant continues to generate remarkable statistics that captivate organizations across the NBA. He is widely considered one of the best power forwards of all time and one of the greatest players in NBA history.

His devastating play in 2023–24—as he nears the end of his professional basketball career—added 27.1 points per game, 6.6 rebounds per game, and five assists per game, ranking him seventh all-time.The Suns have no intention of trading him, but his production has caught the eye of the Houston Rockets, who are reportedly considering a trade for Jimmy Butler, Brandon Ingram, or Mikel Bridges.

After they fail to get Kevin Durant with the 2007 second overall pick, they will target Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat. Pat Riley isn’t eager to extend his contract in Florida by two years, so he’s looking for pastures new. He wants $113 million.
