Devin Booker Agrees to Extension with Phoenix

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker agreed to a two-year, $145 million extension with the franchise. It's the "highest annual salary" in NBA history, with Booker now in line to earn $316 million in the next five seasons. Phoenix recently sent Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets. There's also a good chance that Bradley Beal won't be on the roster come the regular season. However, with the extension, it's apparent the club is fully committed to building around Booker moving ahead. The 28-year-old has spent his entire career in Phoenix, appearing in 673 regular-season contests, most recently finishing the 2024 campaign by averaging 25.6 points and a career-high 7.1 assists. With that in mind, Booker is expected to remain a top fantasy option for years to come. He should also have at least a few more All-Star selections before he calls it a career.

Bradley Beal, Suns Discussing Potential Buyout

According to Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic, Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal has reportedly been in talks with the team regarding a potential buyout. The veteran has two years, $110 million remaining on his current deal. However, the Suns haven't been able to move him due to his no-trade clause. Beal's production dipped in his first two years in Phoenix, most recently averaging 17.0 points while shooting 38.6% from deep during the 2024 campaign. He also was limited to 53 games, marking his sixth-straight season with 60 or fewer appearances. It's a new era for the franchise, with the team recently trading Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets. There's a good chance Beal is the next to go. Still, he should draw interest from at least a handful of teams around the National Basketball Association, although his fantasy ceiling has never been this low at any point in his career.

Phoenix Trades For Hornets Center Mark Williams

The Phoenix Suns have acquired center Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets, according to Shams Charania. ESPN's Insider says Phoenix is sending back the 29th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and a 2029 first-round selection for the 23-year-old. Williams was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers at the trade deadline last season, only for a failed physical to send him back to Charlotte. The Suns struggled with interior defense and size in the 2024-25 season and now have Williams and the 10th overall pick, Khaman Maluach, manning the middle. Williams is coming off his best statistical season, averaging 15.3 points and 10.2 rebounds per game in his third professional season.

Grayson Allen's Future in Phoenix Uncertain

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen could be off to a new team this offseason. According to HoopsHype, Phoenix has "gauged" the trade market on Allen and Royce O'Neale. The team has just traded Kevin Durant to Houston and appears ready to make more moves after missing the playoffs in 2025. Allen has spent two seasons in Phoenix, but his role declined in 2024-25, as he made only seven starts. The veteran sharpshooter, who is a 41.4 percent career shooter from deep, averaged 10.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 24.1 minutes. While the Suns consider moving on from Allen, he should attract a lot of interest, as efficient three-point shooters are highly sought after in the league.

Dillon Brooks Moved to Suns

Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks was traded as part of a blockbuster trade to land Kevin Durant on Sunday. The Rockets are trading Brooks, Jalen Green, the 10th overall pick in 2025, and five future second-round picks in exchange for Durant. Brooks played a majority of his career with the Memphis Grizzlies before landing in Houston two seasons ago. He averaged 14.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists last season. Brooks is more known for his defensive ability, which should help this Suns team that was awful on defense last season. His offensive numbers might take a hit in Phoenix, but Brooks should still be able to offer standard league value, assuming he gets regular playing time.

Jalen Green Headed to Phoenix

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green has traded to the Phoenix Suns as part of a blockbuster trade on Sunday. The Rockets will trade Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th overall pick in 2025, and five second-round picks in exchange for Kevin Durant. This is a great move for the Suns to acquire a young guard in Green and a handful of picks to restock their draft capital. The biggest problem is that the Suns still have Devin Booker and Bradley Beal on their roster. Last season, Green averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists with the Rockets. He was the primary scoring option, but is no longer going to be that in Phoenix. His production will likely go down in Phoenix, but maybe less shots will help with his inefficiency problems. This move will probably decrease his usage, but Green will still find a way to be a valuable asset.

Kevin Durant Has "No Desire" to be Traded to Minnesota

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant reportedly has "no desire" to be traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves. There are a number of teams interested in making a move for the 36-year-old. However, it appears he is only interested in suiting up for the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, and Houston Rockets. Granted, KD doesn't have an official no-trade clause. But some teams may lose interest if he doesn't commit to an extension beyond the 2025-26 campaign. With the start of the new NBA year right around the corner, discussions should intensify, with some even speculating a trade could happen ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft. With that said, Durant is still performing at an All-Star level. That shouldn't change, regardless of where he is playing come October.

Kevin Durant Trade Could Happen in the "Next Few Days"

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, there is "some serious traction" regarding a trade for Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant. There are several teams who have expressed interest in the 2014 MVP. However, Charania indicated that the Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, and Minnesota Timberwolves are the three clubs who appear to have the best chance of landing Durant, at least as of right now, with a deal potentially happening "in the next few days." Durant continues to produce at an exceptional level despite being in the National Basketball Association for nearly two decades, most recently averaging 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 62 games with the Suns in 2024-25. No matter where he ends up, he'll probably remain a top-25 fantasy option heading into next season. The 36-year-old is also expected to remain in the All-Star conversation for at least a few more seasons, although his inability to stay healthy at times has been a deterrent for fantasy managers.

Kevin Durant Deal Could Come Sooner Rather Than Later

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Phoenix Suns are focused on trading forward Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves, San Antonio Spurs, New York Knicks, and Miami Heat. The insider said that there is traction towards getting a deal done soon, and that the deal could get done ahead of the NBA Draft in a few weeks. Durant is on an expiring contract and could either be viewed as a one-year "rental" player or be given a longer-term deal. If he is traded, Durant will be eligible to sign a two-year, $112 million extension with his new team in July. Knicks' and Spurs' reporters have downplayed the likelihood of Durant landing with those teams, but the Heat seem to be legitimately interested, according to Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel.

Knicks Not Looking to Trade for Kevin Durant

According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, the New York Knicks will not pursue a trade involving Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant. A report from ESPN's Shams Charania linked Durant to several teams, including the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Knicks. However, it appears the Knicks aren't interested, especially since making a swap for the multi-time All-Star could mean players like OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges, among others, would need to be involved. Durant, who is eligible to sign a two-year extension on July 6, averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in 62 games for the Suns last season. He also shot an impressive 43.0% from behind the arc. The 36-year-old should remain a top-25 fantasy option in preseason fantasy rankings, regardless of format, although that could change based on where he ends up.

Kevin Durant Expected to Be Moved Soon

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant will likely be a member of a new team soon. Speaking on ESPN's Get Up, NBA insider Brian Windhorst said he believes that Durant will be traded "in the coming weeks." There are reportedly a "handful of teams" interested in trading for the veteran superstar, including the New York Knicks. Durant, who has one year remaining on his contract, has played only two full seasons with the Suns and is poised to join his third team since the 2022-23 campaign. Despite approaching 37 soon, Durant continues to be highly productive on the court and should still be one of the top options for fantasy teams next season.

Vasilije Micic Expected to Return to Europe

Phoenix Suns point guard Vasilije Micic seems to be on his way back to Europe. He has been linked to newly-crowned EuroLeague champions Fenerbahce, with sources informing EuroHoops that Micic's agent, Igor Crespo, was in Istanbul last week. Micic previously starred in Europe, leading Anadolu Efes to two EuroLeague championships, but his game didn't translate well to the NBA. In two seasons, the Serbian playmaker suited up for three different teams, averaging 6.8 points and 3.9 assists in 19.4 minutes. The Suns have an $8.81 million team option on Micic's contract for next season, but they are expected to decline it.

Knicks Reportedly Make an Offer for Kevin Durant

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the New York Knicks reportedly made an offer for Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant ahead of the trade deadline. Of course, that didn't happen. Still, with Durant not a lock to remain in Phoenix this offseason, it's possible both sides may revisit things. The 36-year-old is still playing at an All-Star level, finishing the 2024-25 campaign by averaging 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks while shooting an impressive 43.0% from behind the arc. This probably won't be the last time Durant's name is mentioned in the coming months. However, it's unknown how the Knicks would acquire the multi-time All-Star in a trade, although it's safe to assume Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns won't be included.

Tyus Jones Reportedly on Kings Radar

Phoenix Suns point guard Tyus Jones may once again be on the move this offseason. Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype reports that the Sacramento Kings are keeping tabs on Jones, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent. Jones reportedly sacrificed money and term last summer to sign with the Suns in hopes of contending for a championship. Unfortunately, reality turned out to be completely different. He's had three teams in three seasons and seems poised to move on again. The 29-year-old appears to be a good fit for the Kings, who lost their point guard De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs midseason. Jones has provided solid value to fantasy managers, averaging 10-plus points for three consecutive seasons. He also recorded 2.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists this season, while shooting 41.4 percent from downtown on 5.0 attempts.

Kevin Durant To Houston Already Losing Steam

According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Rockets are "less likely" to pursue a trade for Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant. ESPN's Shams Charania reported KD to Houston could be a possibility. However, the Stein Line has reported that a move between the clubs isn't expected since Durant "is not on the same timeline as Houston's promising young core." The multi-time All-Star is due to make north of $50 million in 2025-26, so a swap between the Rockets and Suns presumably would need to involve a few top-tier players. At any rate, Durant likely won't be in Phoenix next season. But no matter where he ends up, he should remain a top-15 fantasy option heading into the 2025-26 campaign.

Kevin Durant, Rockets Have "Level Of Mutual Interest"

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Rockets might be interested in trading for Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant this offseason. Charania stated both sides have a "level of mutual interest," although things could change depending on how far the Rockets advance during the playoffs. He has one year left on his current deal, so it's unknown how much Houston would be willing to give up. Still, acquiring Durant, who averaged 26.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.1 blocks this season, could make the Rockets an even bigger threat to clubs around the National Basketball Association. As far as his fantasy outlook is concerned, he should remain a valuable fantasy asset in 2025-26, no matter where he ends up. However, Durant will need to stay healthy, with the veteran logging only 60 games during the 2024-25 campaign.

Devin Booker Wants To Stay In Phoenix

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker is not considering abandoning ship after the team's disappointing season. "I've spoke on it plenty of times," Booker told Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. "I'm sure the people are sick of hearing my Phoenix love story, but I'm deeply rooting into this community. I take a lot of pride in it. We've built it from the ground up before. I didn't think I'd be back in this situation, but it shows you how hard the league is. Once we get back to that championship level, I'll be able to shed light on people that it can change very quickly." While Booker is adamant about staying, the Suns are poised to undergo major changes, which could include trading Kevin Durant.

Royce O'Neale Unavailable Against Bucks

Phoenix Suns forward Royce O'Neale (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's clash against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, initially listed as questionable before the team officially ruled him out for the game. The Suns will also be without Kevin Durant (ankle) and Bradley Beal (hamstring) on Tuesday, placing extra responsibility on players like Collin Gillespie, Tyus Jones, Grayson Allen, and Cody Martin to step up their performance.

Bradley Beal Out On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is not ready to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Initially, there was a chance Beal would return when the team listed him as questionable on the injury report, but he has now officially been ruled out. This will be Beal's eighth consecutive absence. Collin Gillespie will continue to have an expanded role due to Beal's absence. He has started seven consecutive games, averaging 8.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 21.9 minutes over that span.

Bradley Beal Could Return On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) may rejoin the action on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. The three-time All-Star has been unavailable for seven games due to a hamstring strain. Beal has started working on five-on-five drills in practice, which suggests his return is near. The Suns could certainly use some help, as the team's postseason hopes are fading away, and Kevin Durant (ankle) has been ruled out for at least a week. Beal may have a larger role on offense due to Durant's absence. If he isn't ready to return on Tuesday, Collin Gillespie will continue to have extra fantasy value.
