The Phoenix Suns are looking to shake up their roster by using one of their three first-round picks to entice a team to take on center Jusuf Nurkic, who has not played since January. ESPN reports that Nurkic has expressed dissatisfaction with the team and his relationship with head coach Mike Budenholzer. Additionally, other NBA teams have inquired about stars Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, but both have been turned down.
Durant’s contract ends in 2026, and he is eligible to sign a two-year extension after this season. Booker, who is close to breaking the Suns’ all-time scoring record, has not indicated a desire to leave Phoenix, and the team will not entertain any trade inquiries about him. The Suns currently have three first-round picks in their arsenal, acquired through recent trades, providing them with flexibility in potential deals. It remains to be seen how the Suns will utilize their assets in the upcoming NBA trade deadline as they look to make moves to improve their roster.
