According to a recent report, the Phoenix Suns are still trying to make something happen and have dangled a package of Mikal Bridges and picks for Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets.
“The Phoenix Suns similarly have dangled a package around All-Defensive wing Mikal Bridges and a handful of first-round draft picks, which has not picked up any steam with the Nets, league sources said,” Shams Charania of The Athletic reported. “With Deandre Ayton signed to a four-year maximum contract and unable to be moved until January, Phoenix has attempted over the past month to make creative proposals to Brooklyn, possibly via three- or four-team trades where an All-Star-caliber player goes to the Nets.”
Durant still has a 4-year $192.4 million contract, which runs after the 2025-26 season. Last season, the 33-year-old averaged 29.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 6.4 assists in 55 regular-season games.
