June 16th According to a famous reporter Marc Stein, he talked about the trading rumors between Durant and the Rockets, and he said he agrees with reporter Jake Fischer's point of view: In this deal discussion, the Suns are always the more active side.

"In the first round of the Rockets, they were eliminated by the Warriors, there seemed to be some trading plans to tempt them to give up their long-standing beliefs. One of them was to get the trade to get Durant, who is about to be 37. My friend Kelly Iko at The Athletic reported on Saturday that Jabbarry Smith Jr. has become a player interested in Phoenix;

Overall, I think Jake Fischer said it well in his evaluation of Durant's trade prospects: The Suns are always the more active in the trade discussion about Durant's deal;

The reason should be obvious, the Rockets already have the Suns' No. 10 picks this year, and they also control their first round picks in 27 and 29. The Suns hope to send Durant to the Rockets, which can allow them to re-control at least one of the draft picks, and the Rockets don't want the Suns to do what they want."
