Though it has been widely predicted that the Phoenix Suns will trade veteran big man Kevin Durant this summer, NBA insider Shams Charania has reaffirmed that notion with a Monday report following the firing of Suns' head coach Mike Budenholzer. The Suns finished 11th in the West with a record of 36-46 in his one year at the helm.
In his piece on the firing, Charania mentioned how Budenholzer's exit is the first move in the team's "summer of change," which he said will also involve discussions around Durant and contract problem child Bradley Beal.
