The Suns failed to raise prices? The Grizzlies and the team reporters denied that the team would start negotiations about Durant?

According to previous news from Yahoo Sports reporter Evan Sidery, the Memphis Grizzlies have recently joined the battle for Kevin Durant. MemphisNews reporter Damichael Cole then updated his social media account and refuted the news from Sidery. Cole said: The Grizzlies currently have no interest in getting Kevin Durant through trading. Although the Grizzlies had considered quoting the Phoenix Suns before the season's trading deadline, they did not and did not intend to push any trade negotiations about Durant during this offseason.

In the NBA regular season this season, Durant played a total of 62 games in 82 games, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, averaging 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, and 3.1 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 43%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.9%. Durant's performance this season is pretty average. His personal data looks pretty good and there is no particularly obvious decline. Durant's scoring ability looks good, his offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage are worthy of recognition. He can also provide a lot of support for the team in terms of passing and supporting, he also has certain defensive abilities, and his defensive focus is also good.

, but the Suns' record this season is really a bit too terrible. The team's total salary exceeds the second rich line. As a result, they not only did not enter the playoffs, but they did not even get the qualification for the playoffs, which can be said to be extremely poor. Although Durant's personal performance is pretty good, his influence on the game is no longer as good as before, and it is difficult for him to rely on his own efforts to help the team achieve greater breakthroughs in record performance. On the other hand, Durant is already 36 years old, and he will be 37 at the start of next season, and his contract is about to expire in just one year. Durant's condition may decline at any time, and his future is also very unclear, and his salary is outrageously high. Under this circumstance, his market conditions are obviously not ideal.

It is no exaggeration to say that based on the current situation, we even have reason to believe it. Many of the trading rumors about Durant may be spread by the Suns, with the purpose of improving Durant's market conditions. However, no matter how you look at Durant's market conditions, you can't rely on such rumors or even "rumors" to achieve a significant improvement. The Sun also needs to recognize the reality. If they want to send Durant away, they also need to act quickly. Otherwise, his trading value may continue to decline?
