Durant made it to the trade talks before the deadline, where several teams made calls to the Suns for him, including the Mavs, Golden State, Heat, Houston, Grizzlies and the Timberwolves.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Not only this, but the deal of the 15-time <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>NBA<\/a> All-Star had reportedly almost got finalized with the Warriors, but was cancelled as he wasn&rsquo;t interested in moving back to them. However, following a week after the trade deadline, the reports have surfaced again. The reports state that the Suns are ready to part ways with their superstar this off season.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Durant, who became the eighth player to score <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/back-to-square-one-lakers-fans-in-shock-after-mark-williams-dalton-knecht-trade-gets-rescinded\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>30,000 NBA points in his return game against the Grizzlies<\/a> on Feb 11, had earlier broken his silence on the trade rumors. The two-time NBA Champion said that he understood <em>&ldquo;Everybody&rsquo;s bought and sold in this league. Anybody can be up for auction.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p><p>However, as per latest reports by ESPN&rsquo;s NBA insider Brian Windhorst, Durant is one of the best players available for the trade. It will be around the off season that he and his franchise will part ways. <\/p><p>The reason behind that is the Suns are currently below .500 with a 26-27 tally and have one of the highest payrolls in the league.&nbsp;<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Windhorst stated,<em> &ldquo;He&rsquo;s probably going to get traded this summer.
