Despite the Phoenix Suns’ insistence that their top player would not be traded, Kevin Durant’s status with the organization has taken yet another turn.

In the pаst, Durаnt hаd vоiced his displeаsure with repоrts thаt he wаs being deаlt оut оf Phоenix аnd implied thаt the use оf his nаme by jоurnаlists in their pieces wаs just а simple tаctic tо drаw аttentiоn tо them.It appeared that Durant’s and the Suns’ future had been determined following the NBA Draft, when numerous deals were made. However, the former player for the Golden State Warriors has now shifted the spotlight back to himself, making some fairly cryptic remarks regarding a potential move out of Phoenix.

The Suns forward was questioned a lot on trade rumors after there were rumors of turmoil in the locker room.

But Durant denied the allegations once new coach Mike Budenholzer took over, even though there are still concerns about his happiness with the squad that plays in Arizona.

Response from Durant on “Up & Adams Show”Durant was asked about his happiness in Phoenix during a visit on Kay Adams’ “Up & Adams Show.” Durant, who was well-known for his humor, retorted with wit.

“Yeah, I’m happy to be alive, you know?” Durant chuckled.

“See I can’t complain anybody about nothing.”

Even with the playful tone, Durant admitted that adjusting to Phoenix’s slower pace from New York’s fast-paced culture has been difficult, expressing that he misses some aspects of his Brooklyn Nets days.

“You know Phoenix, it was a different transition, tough transition, moving from New York’s fast-paced city lifestyle to slow down pace in Phoenix,” he said.

The Suns, whose postseason run was abruptly cut short in the first round of the playoffs last year, will be hoping for a much better 2024 campaign.

Despite spending large sums of money to have a big three that included Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, they were swept by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
