According to Evan Sidery, the Phoenix Suns' ideal trading plan is to exchange Kevin Durant for young players and future draft assets, and they are also willing to accept two starting players and a future first-round pick. Sidery also said that the Suns have a firm attitude towards Durant's trading returns and clearly have set the bottom line.

According to San Antonio Spurs self-media Spurs Report reporter Dusty Garza, the Suns are making final efforts and they are putting pressure on all teams that are interested in getting Kevin Durant. Suns management is eager to know whether they can allow other potential Durant next players to pay more future assets in the deal. Meanwhile, the Suns have also invited several teams to participate in multi-party trades, including attempts to trade Durant’s team and potential third-party teams. But according to information from insiders in the league, the teams are increasingly frustrated by Durant's deal and hesitant to participate.

In the NBA regular season this season, Durant played 62 games in 82 games, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, averaging 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, and 3.1 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 43%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.9%. Although Durant's data this season seems to be pretty good, he still showed quite good scoring ability and maintained stable offensive efficiency, and he can also play a certain role in passing and organizing offense. However, from the actual situation, Durant no longer has the ability to have a greater influence on the game, which is also an important factor in the Suns' poor record this season.

In fact, judging from the current situation, the Sun seems to be a little too high for Durant, and they are also a little blindly confident about the value of Durant. It is obvious that Durant's contract will expire one year left, and he will be a 37-year-old veteran next season, and the Suns' record this season is also there. In this case, it is not a realistic thing for the Sun to exchange for more future assets by sending Durant away. Including the Spurs and the Houston Rockets, although they have a lot of chips in their hands, it is completely impossible to squander the chips for Durant. If the Suns don’t send Durant away before the draft, I believe that each team will have new arrangements in the draft. In this case, it will be more difficult to send Durant away, and it will become increasingly impossible to get more chips from the Durant trade. The Suns still have to recognize the situation. Durant, who is 37 years old and is about to enter, is really not suitable to continue to hold it in his hands.
