All signs prove that the sun will send Durant away this summer no matter what?

According to Marc Stein, a US media substack reporter, there are some strong signs in the process of finding a new head coach that the team may send forward veteran Kevin Durant away through a trade this summer.

Stein continued: Everyone has begun to expect that no matter who the Suns hire as the team's next head coach in the next time, they will choose to trade Durant. Judging from the current situation, Miami Heat's assistant coach Chris Quinn and Cleveland Cavaliers' assistant coach Jordan Ott are expected to enter the next round of interviews and meet with Suns boss Mat Ishbia. The team's star Devin Booker has also been involved in the search for a new coach. But Durant's deal may not happen immediately, and it may not happen until the problems of the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo are resolved.

In the NBA regular season this season, Durant made a total of 62 appearances, 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%. Durant's personal performance this season looks pretty good, his scoring ability can still be maintained at a high level, his offensive efficiency is also worthy of recognition, and he also has certain passing ability and support ability. The problem is that the Suns' performance this season is a disaster, the team's record is a mess, and they didn't even enter the play-offs in the end. Considering that the Suns' total salary exceeds the second rich line, it is completely unacceptable that they can only achieve such a record in the end, which should be an important factor in their desire to send Durant away. Durant's current contract expires in the last year, with his salary of up to $54.7 million next season. Considering Durant's performance this season, it is obvious that it is not easy for the team to send him away and get his ideal chips. Currently, the Suns' total salary exceeds the second rich line, so it is not easy to complete the transaction. On the other hand, considering Durant's age, his performance in next season may only be worse than now. The Suns also need to decide whether the team's goal in next season should continue to attack the championship or choose to rebuild.
