Phoenix Suns Stun Entire NBA With Blockbuster Kevin Durant Trade Proposal

The Phoenix Suns’ disappointing run in the NBA Playoffs last year led to a lot of questions regarding whether their Big Three can successfully coexist.

Kevin Durant would seem to be the most solidly engrained player within the franchise at the moment, but he also has the most trade value.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ best trade offer for Durant, for example, is a matter of public record.

This week Dan Le Batard suggested that the Miami Heat may have their sights set on Kevin Durant.

“I do not believe that by the trade deadline of this upcoming year, the Heat will be there saying, ‘Oh yeah we still think we’re as good as the 76ers.’ Pat Riley doesn’t have any reason in the world to still be working at his age approaching 80,” Le Batard said.

“He’s not going to wait around for another young team to ferment. The things they have done with young people are things Pat Riley has never done in his career. The next play will be an assortment of pieces that gets one-year max Jimmy Butler and then he’s gonna try to get Kevin Durant again. I’ve assumed that’s the move they are gonna try and get in play for.”

A move for Durant would shock the entire NBA to its core, regardless of who makes it.

If Riley and the Heat are the ones pulling the trigger, it will have massive ramifications for the whole league.

Will Durant ultimately end up in Miami when everything is said and done? Time will tell.
