It doesn’t look like the Suns will have any players available for exit interviews, which would be a first since I’ve been on the beat. We should hear from front office later this week, but I wish we could’ve talked with KD one more time (even without all the summer uncertainty) – 1:05 PM

The Suns’ most disappointing season in franchise history is over, ushering in a summer of change. I wrote about the 5 biggest offseason questions facing this team, including the futures of Mike Budenholzer, Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and more: bit.ly/3RdsWVr – 9:30 PM

The New York Knicks are expected to be one of the teams with interest in trading for Kevin Durant this offseason. The Knicks previously pursued Durant when he was a free agent in 2019, but he instead joined forces with Kyrie Irving to sign with the Brooklyn Nets. “I do think the concept of the Knicks is an interesting one,” said Brian Windhorst on the Stephen A. Smith Show. “Now, in my opinion, I’ve never understood why Kevin Durant didn’t go to the Knicks in 2019 instead went to the Nets.” -via RealGM / April 15, 2025
Kevin Garnett: Let me ask you this better question, man. When you want to see KD land? Paul Pierce: He should go home. OKC. If OKC doesn’t do it—he’s from Washington. He from—well, I consider OKC. He’s going to get his jersey retired. You know what I mean? So I’m like, ‘All right, if OKC don’t get over the top this year, I don’t think they should mortgage their future, but they got enough assets as far as draft picks.’ Because I think Phoenix should start over. They can send them some draft picks, and they like, ‘Look, we got a two-year window with KD, and we don’t have to really give up much. You can keep Chet, you can keep your pieces. -via YouTube / April 15, 2025
