PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns have faced much criticism since the unceremonious exit they saw at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves over two weeks ago.Durant is a "problem" for the franchise, while former pro football player Chad Ochocinco relayed that Durant had personally told him he'd be open to play for the Miami Heat if the opportunity presented itself.
The whispers of Durant wanting out will always be around simply due to reputation - fair or not - and Miami was the franchise that was frequently linked to a trade alongside Phoenix when he first requested a trade out of Brooklyn in the summer of 2022. Durant will now look towards building off of an impressive campaign that will almost certainly draw another all-NBA selection - and will look to fully break-out in a Mike Budenholzer offense following the new coach's arrival.
Durant has two years and nearly $105 million dollars left on his current contract - so he certainly could look to be extended this offseason.
