One perspective is to trade one of the stars, with differing opinions on whether Booker or Durant should be the one to go.

The Phoenix Suns have a new head coach but still have plenty on their checklist.

Miami is believed to still feel the same way, even though it would love to add Durant.

“Jordan Ott is an outstanding hire,” Vaughn said last week. “His work ethic, demeanor, passion, and deep knowledge of the game will resonate with both young and veteran players. Jordan will leave no stone unturned in pursuit of finding solutions and will be committed to building a sustainable and successful brand of basketball.”

General manager Brian Gregory introduces Jordan Ott as the next head coach of the Phoenix Suns during a news conference at Verizon 5G Performance Center in Phoenix on June 10, 2025.
