"Phoenix is expected to engage in trade conversations involving Durant," ESPN's Shams Charania wrote. "Multiple teams will seriously pursue Durant, who finished another stellar season, and the franchise is expected to work with Durant and his business partner and Boardroom CEO Rich Kleiman on the next landing spot for the future Hall of Famer."

Though it has been widely predicted that the Phoenix Suns will trade veteran big man Kevin Durant this summer, NBA insider Shams Charania has reaffirmed that notion with a Monday report following the firing of Suns' head coach Mike Budenholzer. The Suns finished 11th in the West with a record of 36-46 in his one year at the helm.

The Phoenix Suns have fired head coach Mike Budenholzer and Kevin Durant is expected to be moved after a disappointing season in which they failed to make the playoffs. The Knicks are expected to be among the teams potentially involved for Durant, although virtually every team in the NBA will likely reach out to Phoenix.
