Phoenix was left unable to find a workable solution on a Durant trade, while fellow star Bradley Beal utilized his no-trade clause to full effect. As a result, the Suns couldn't make any midseason upgrades, and two of their biggest names knew the front office deemed them expendable.

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Phoenix Suns and Kevin Durant are expected to work together on a trade this offseason. Durant, who was almost traded at the February trade deadline, will make $54.7 million next season in the final year of his contract.

The Phoenix Suns have fired head coach Mike Budenholzer and Kevin Durant is expected to be moved after a disappointing season in which they failed to make the playoffs. The Knicks are expected to be among the teams potentially involved for Durant, although virtually every team in the NBA will likely reach out to Phoenix.
