“He’s probably going to get traded this summer,” said Brian Windhorst on Get Up on Wednesday. “He knows it. The Suns know it. The rest of the league knows it. They’re going to enjoy him while they have him. It’s not really controversial in all honesty.

More on this storyline
At the end of episode 2, Kevin Durant started breaking down talking about what basketball and his family meant to him. How did you manage to get that genuine of a moment? Jake Rogal: That was one of my favorite moments of the whole process. So, the day after the Serbia game where he went off in the Group stage, I was on Twitter and I was looking at what he was doing, and I saw interactions with people he was having on Twitter. I clicked on the Twitter handles, and it was a random guy from Dallas who had 200 followers, and I clicked on another one and it was a random person from Arizona, and he had 100 followers. I was thinking why? The day after, you’re in Paris, you’re in a tournament, you just had an amazing game. Why are you spending time addressing some of these people? I honestly thought it would be a funny question, so I asked him what I just said to you with the Twitter guys, why are you spending time with these guys? And Kevin said, “How many Twitter followers do I have?” I was like I’m not sure, and he said, “28 million, I’m not trying to get these people a platform, I’m trying to get my voice out there by responding to something they’re saying so I can make a point. So really I’m using them to get my voice heard. The game means so much to me and we’re here in Paris and we’re seeing all these people, and this game means so much to all these people.” And he started to get emotional about it, his tears were over how much he cares about basketball. I was shocked when he started to get emotional, and I was happy because that’s a good thing for people to see. It makes you understand him a lot more. -via HoopsHype / February 12, 2025
