Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the New York Knicks reportedly made an offer for Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant ahead of the trade deadline. Of course, that didn't happen. Still, with Durant not a lock to remain in Phoenix this offseason, it's possible both sides may revisit things. The 36-year-old is still playing at an All-Star level, finishing the 2024-25 campaign by averaging 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks while shooting an impressive 43.0% from behind the arc. This probably won't be the last time Durant's name is mentioned in the coming months. However, it's unknown how the Knicks would acquire the multi-time All-Star in a trade, although it's safe to assume Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns won't be included.

Phoenix Suns point guard Tyus Jones may once again be on the move this offseason. Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype reports that the Sacramento Kings are keeping tabs on Jones, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent. Jones reportedly sacrificed money and term last summer to sign with the Suns in hopes of contending for a championship. Unfortunately, reality turned out to be completely different. He's had three teams in three seasons and seems poised to move on again. The 29-year-old appears to be a good fit for the Kings, who lost their point guard De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs midseason. Jones has provided solid value to fantasy managers, averaging 10-plus points for three consecutive seasons. He also recorded 2.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists this season, while shooting 41.4 percent from downtown on 5.0 attempts.

According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Rockets are "less likely" to pursue a trade for Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant. ESPN's Shams Charania reported KD to Houston could be a possibility. However, the Stein Line has reported that a move between the clubs isn't expected since Durant "is not on the same timeline as Houston's promising young core." The multi-time All-Star is due to make north of $50 million in 2025-26, so a swap between the Rockets and Suns presumably would need to involve a few top-tier players. At any rate, Durant likely won't be in Phoenix next season. But no matter where he ends up, he should remain a top-15 fantasy option heading into the 2025-26 campaign.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Rockets might be interested in trading for Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant this offseason. Charania stated both sides have a "level of mutual interest," although things could change depending on how far the Rockets advance during the playoffs. He has one year left on his current deal, so it's unknown how much Houston would be willing to give up. Still, acquiring Durant, who averaged 26.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.1 blocks this season, could make the Rockets an even bigger threat to clubs around the National Basketball Association. As far as his fantasy outlook is concerned, he should remain a valuable fantasy asset in 2025-26, no matter where he ends up. However, Durant will need to stay healthy, with the veteran logging only 60 games during the 2024-25 campaign.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker is not considering abandoning ship after the team's disappointing season. "I've spoke on it plenty of times," Booker told Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. "I'm sure the people are sick of hearing my Phoenix love story, but I'm deeply rooting into this community. I take a lot of pride in it. We've built it from the ground up before. I didn't think I'd be back in this situation, but it shows you how hard the league is. Once we get back to that championship level, I'll be able to shed light on people that it can change very quickly." While Booker is adamant about staying, the Suns are poised to undergo major changes, which could include trading Kevin Durant.
