00:00A name we thought might be shipped out of the valley, Kevin Durant, where we sat here
00:06yesterday around this time.
00:08Could he be the blockbuster player on the move?
00:11Not necessarily Jimmy Butler, or maybe in a Jimmy Butler deal.
00:15A potential reunion in San Francisco before KD was floated, and then what was floated
00:21yesterday by reports is that Durant had zero desire to return to Golden State and basically
00:26squashed a potential deal that was in place.
00:30We expect, Joe, that over the next four and a half hours, Kevin Durant will not be traded
00:35by the Suns, and he will remain in Phoenix.
00:40Do you think that is going to be the case by the time 3.01 p.m. Eastern time comes and
00:45the deadline is passed?
00:47Yeah, I can't see Durant going anywhere.
00:51And again, the fact that he has the power to 86 any sort of deal the Golden State tells
00:57you that the amount of suitors in which he would approve a deal for are very limited
01:02to begin with.
01:03And with the amount of money that he is making, you know, there has to be some sort of even
01:08swap there.
01:09And the only teams that would be able to afford that are teams that aren't competing for a
01:12postseason.
01:13So the chances of him landing anywhere, I think, are slim to none.
01:18He would have been one of the first names off the trade deadline if I think they were
01:23serious about moving him.
01:25But at this point, Phoenix is what they are, and they're going to have to make do with
01:29what they got.
