Kevin Durant has made a bold admission about the Phoenix Suns amid rumours linking them with the Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler.

Former OKC Thunder superstar and Suns forward Kevin Durant revealed the real reason he left the team in 2016 for the Warriors.

With the Phoenix Suns' focus remaining solely on trading for the Miami Heat's six-time All-Star Jimmy Butler, Hall-of-Fame forward and former Boston Celtics NBA Finals MVP Paul Pierce offered a differing opinion on who the franchise should target prior to the Feb. 6 trade deadline.

The Suns, already armed with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, are reportedly exploring moves to bolster their roster. However, Young took to social media to pitch an alternative strategy. Keep in mind that Jimmy Butler is one of the hottest names in trade talks this season, with the Suns rumored to be serious contenders .

Paul Pierce poked at LeBron James when talking about potential trades that could go down before the Feb. 6 deadline.

Amid the Oklahoma City Thunder ’s best regular season in over a decade, Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant delivered a what-if scenario involving his former team. Former Thunder veteran Derek Fisher went down memory lane recently, and Durant followed suit in a recent Out The Mud Podcast episode.

Despite being one of the more elite talents in NBA history, Kevin Durant has always dealt with his fair share of criticism.

Led by Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, the Western Conference's eighth-place Suns have played well in January, winning seven of their last nine, and are 8-4 overall this month. The Clippers are sixth in the West standings, led by veteran stars James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, plus their top scorer this season Norman Powell.

He has been at odds with the Heat since team president Pat Riley called him out after they got booted out of the playoffs last season. Butler, who recently hung out with Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston, is averaging 17.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game this season.

The Phoenix Suns (23-21) are facing some decisions ahead of the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 6. Phoenix is in talks to trade for Miami Heat all-star Jimmy Butler, recently restocked a once-bare allotment of draft picks and the Arizona Republic reported that Suns’ starting center Jusuf Nurkic and head coach Mike Budenholzer weren’t exactly on speaking terms.

The starters for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game have been announced, and some familiar faces lead the way. The announcement came on TNT’s Inside the NBA on Thursday night, before tipoff between the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat.
