League sources said that Durant and Rich Kleiman, the 15-time All-Star’s agent and business partner, would be consulted on any trade discussions involving him this summer. Durant has one season remaining on his contract and would be eligible to sign a two-year, $122 million extension with a team that acquires him, providing him significant power to influence a potential trade destination.

“My opinion on that does not matter.”
Kevin Durant on whether tussle between Mason Plumlee and Steven Adams warranted ejections for both guys.
Didn’t think it had impact on Suns 111-104 loss to Rockets.
What did?

Mike Budenholzer said Nick Richards and Bol Bol haven’t played much in 2nd halves of recent games, noting Dallas and Memphis went small.
“There’s basically been no other centers on the court.”

Physicality.
That’s how Rockets coach Ime Udoka wants Houston to defend Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal in tonight’s game.
Suns were w/o Booker and Beal in their last meeting Phoenix lost before #NBAAllStar2025 break.

More on this storyline
Barring a drastic late-season turnaround for the Suns, there is anticipation around the league that Phoenix will entertain trade offers for Durant again this summer. “I’ll just say that we’re going to evaluate in the offseason,” Ishbia said. “We’re going to find a way to win, and it’s probably a lot easier winning with Kevin Durant than without him. But at the same time, yes, if we’re not good enough in this iteration of the Phoenix Suns, we’re going to find a way to be better next year. ” -via ESPN / March 14, 2025
The Suns had also discussed frameworks of potential Durant trades with the Timberwolves, Miami Heat and Rockets, according to league sources, some of whom also mentioned the New York Knicks as a potential fit. Rockets sources told ESPN their discussions with Phoenix were initiated by the Suns. -via ESPN / March 14, 2025
Boardroom, the sports media and entertainment brand co-founded by NBA star Kevin Durant and his longtime manager Rich Kleiman, is betting that there is room for a premium membership opportunity in the sports space. The company is planning to launch what it is calling Boardroom Members Club, which will combine in-person experiences, unique opportunities and gifts, and a digital platform, to create a compelling value proposition for what Kleiman hopes will be an ambitious set of members. -via The Hollywood Reporter / March 14, 2025
