Kevin Durant is over the trade rumors.
On the first night of the 2024 NBA Draft at the end of June, rumors were flying that Durant could be dealt away from the Suns, with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reporting then that the Rockets were interested in making a move with Phoenix.
“Yes, it’s a button. What else is gonna get people going around this time? Besides, ‘Oh, the journeyman is leaving again.’ That story is always gonna hit.”This echoes what Suns general manager James Jones said about the trade rumors when asked about Smith’s comments after the first night of the draft.
Durant, who is hoping to win his fourth gold medal with Team USA, added that the claims about the Suns trade rumors were “lies,” and that he said it was hard to ignore what was said about him.“So for somebody to say, ‘Phoenix wants to get out of the KD ,’ I’m sitting here like, where is this coming from?” Durant said. “It bothers me that people lie like that and that the audience eats up the headline. I get sad when people buy into lies and just make up s–t.
