Kevin Durant, 36, speaks frankly about the limited time he left in the league.
“I’ve been thinking about it all the time,” Durant said via ESPN’s Malika Andrews. “I mean, we're in a young guy game. I hear my age every day. But I'm still happy to prepare for the game, prepare to practice, be a teammate, and I still love all of this stuff. I can't see it now To the ending, but it may happen, it is impossible. But I was just locked the next day.”
As for whether the trade rumors surrounding Durant before the NBA trade deadline will affect his future under the Suns, he confirmed that Phoenix is where he wants to be and never asked to go out.
“You have to ask the front desk for this. I mean, I never planned to leave, move or trade,” KD said. “I didn’t ask for a deal in Phoenix.”
Durant remains a key figure in the Sun, and although his future is uncertain, he is currently locked in by the Sun.
“I know I'm going to keep bringing, trying to bring the best every day, and what I'm going to focus on, what's next,” Durant said.
In the last few days of the trading deadline, 20% of the league tried to trade Kevin Durant.
These teams include Dallas, Golden State, Miami, Houston, Memphis and Minnesota. The teams are still willing to trade KD, which is Heat, Mavericks and Rockets, who are expected to make their last effort in this summer’s trade pack, reported last week by Brian Windhorst.
Even though he is one of the oldest players in the league, it is clear that KD still has high demand throughout the NBA.
