In the midst of an underwhelming season and recent trade discussions surrounding star Kevin Durant, the Phoenix Suns may need to reevaluate the franchise's direction during the offseason. The trio of Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal was supposed to guide Phoenix to their first NBA title, but this year, they sit at 26-28 at the All-Star break, as the No. 11 seed in the Western Conference.
Durant acknowledged the disappointing season in an interview with ESPN, where he mentioned that the Suns' stars expect a lot from themselves and "it just hasn't materialized the way we want it to." At this season's trade deadline, which passed Feb. 6, the Golden State Warriors pursued a reunion with Durant, but he didn't want to get traded midway through the season which kept Durant in Phoenix and led to the Warriors acquiring Jimmy Butler.
