NBA Trade Rumors: "Even if it's here or in another jersey," Kevin Durant said in response to Phoenix Suns trade rumors.

Many people anticipate some last-minute deals in and out of the Phoenix Suns as the trade deadline draws near.

Although there has been a significant improvement in performance, the Suns lost against the Minnesota Timberwolves 113-121.

Devin Booker and Kevin Durant both had outstanding performances, scoring 33 and 28 points, respectively, but it was insufficient to give them a fourth straight victory.

The Suns now have a 24–22 record in the Western Conference, and owner Matt Ishbia is not afraid to make some moves in order to guarantee a postseason berth.

Given that coach Mike Budenholzer hasn't hesitated to make some audacious decisions, it's safe to say the Suns have experienced their share of drama in recent weeks and months.

Jusuf Nurkic recently disclosed that he had no contact with the coach, which resulted to his expulsion from the squad.

Despite being one of the team's most reliable players, the two-time NBA Champion's future in Phoenix is in doubt.

Durant has contributed significantly to the Suns' recent success, averaging 27-6-4 this season.

However, Tom Haberstroh implied that Durant will eventually have enough when he said, "It's only a matter of time before Kevin Durant's like 'I'm not going to be sitting here watching the playoffs on my couch again.'" on the Kevin O'Connor show.

KD has publicly expressed his pleasure with the recent acquisition of Nick Richards to the squad, and he recently defended the Suns owner's management style, which has occasionally been described as a little chaotic.

KD will demand more from the Suns if he wants to spend the latter years of his career with them, even if he is unlikely to make any last-minute moves away from Phoenix before the trade window closes.
