NBA superstar Kevin Durant made it through the NBA trade deadline unscathed, but he had a target on his back for a while there. The Suns were purportedly thinking of using Durant as their bargaining chip on the trade market, in one instance with the Golden State Warriors and another with the Miami Heat, but a deal never materialized. It would have been huge news if it had, but for now, despite interest from teams beyond the Heat and the Warriors, Durant remains firmly in Phoenix.
That said, it is believed that Durant may have been none too pleased to be on the chopping block in the first place... though you wouldn't necessarily know that based on the answer he gave reporters on Monday.
