Phoenix Suns Face Uncertain Future with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant

As playoff hopes dwindle, speculation grows over potential trades and coaching changes for the struggling Suns.

The Phoenix Suns, currently 11th in the Western Conference with a 2-8 record in their last 10 games, are likely to miss the 2025 NBA playoffs despite having the league's highest payroll.
NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith has urged Devin Booker to consider leaving the Suns, citing the team's ongoing struggles and lack of progress since acquiring Kevin Durant.
Kevin Durant is expected to be on the trade block this offseason, with reports suggesting the Suns and Durant will collaborate on finding a trade to a contender.
Tensions within the Suns organization have reportedly included conflicts between head coach Mike Budenholzer and players, with speculation emerging about Chauncey Billups as a potential coaching replacement if Budenholzer is dismissed.
The Houston Rockets and other teams are reportedly monitoring the situations of both Booker and Durant, positioning themselves as potential trade destinations.
