The NBA offseason is quickly approaching and one team that has a ton of crucial decisions to make is the Phoenix Suns.
Phoenix had an underwhelming season as they failed to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 season after finishing 11th in the Western Conference with an abysmal 36-46 record.
After their poor season, the Suns now have some key decisions to make this summer including whether to keep their superstar trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal together.

There have been multiple reports saying that the Suns will likely look to move on from Durant and Beal this offseason and rebuild around Booker as they try to return to a championship-caliber team.
With Durant likely on the move this summer, there have been many reports of teams that have shown interest in him, including the Houston Rockets, Miami Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves, but ESPN’s Shams Charania recently named another team that has shown interest.
“There was mutual interest between the (San Antonio) Spurs and Kevin Durant at the trade deadline,” Charania said on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday.
Of course, the Spurs have been named as a potential landing spot for Durant this offseason but they have also been linked to other stars including Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks.
While San Antonio has been linked to Giannis, Milwaukee is going to want a large package of assets in return and while the Spurs have enough off a trade, it may be better for them to go after a much cheaper Durant.

Either way, it appears as though the Spurs are looking to make a move for another star player this summer to pair alongside Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle and De’Aaron Fox as they try to return to their winning ways of the past.
