One NBA executive joked about Suns owner Mat Ishbia having a new rule made for him with the Kevin Durant trade possibly backfiring.

The Phoenix Suns have one of the most talented rosters in the NBA led by Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. However, the team is just 19-20 in their first 39 games, which has them as the 11th seed in the Western Conference.

If the Phoenix Suns fail to make significant progress, they'll continue to be involved in trade rumors. With the franchise playing mediocre basketball, a 6-foot-11 superstar forward may get shipped to the Oklahoma City Thunder to help accelerate the Suns' rebuild.

Michael Pina of The Ringer came out firing with a piece as to why the Suns should actually move superstar F Kevin Durant instead of continuing to go "all-in" on the title pursuit in the midst of a potentially second disappointing season in a row.
