Phoenix Suns is on the way to miss the playoffs. They entered the season with the idea that they could be a competitor this year with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.
Since then, the situation has not been too favorable. SUNS is currently 2.5 games in the play-in and has a record of 30-36 at 11th at the West Conference. As the season looks like extreme disappointment, the sun can make a big change in the future.
Devin Booker is part of the future of Suns
We do not know the entire range of the future of Phoenix by the off -season, but we know that Bradley Beal has a trade clause and uses it to move before the deadline.
Booker was always Phoenix’s franchise. When the team acquired Chris Paul, Booker helped me to blossom with the next superstar. When Durant came to the village, he probably saw something in Booker. It can also help you return to the NBA final for the first time since the Golden State.
This confidence in Booker is known to be shared by the front office of Phoenix. According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahonBooker is considered the future in Phoenix and plans to build around.

Many owners and team governors MAT ISHBIA says they still believe in their teams and coaches and want to be successful, but they are open to potential pivot that can be re -loaded around the Booker. Do this question what happens next with Durant?
Kevin Durant can be traded potential in this offseason
Durant wrote at least in his time in Phoenix. He currently records an average of 26.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists, shooting 52.9%in the field this season. However, the star forward in the third year of the $ 194 million contract for four -year contracts has been in charge of trade negotiations since the deadline.
According to MacMahon, Suns signed a contract at a table for Durant, but was able to visit the talks again this offseason again. Many expect Durant to go from Suns this offseason. The question is where do they send him?
Suns first participated in the rocket for potential Kevin Durant transactions before the end of last month. @spn_macmahon (https://t.co/upkddvtudf).

For old veterans such as Durant, teams like Houston Rocket and Oklahoma City Thunder are young options with assets, which can be attractive. Durant will provide a great score punch and veteran leadership for any team.
Will Suns actually exchange Durant? As the plan is mentioned, there is a possibility if you pivot and re -load it. Booker is likely to wear a Suns uniform next year, but will Durant start next season?
