PHOENIX – James Jones, president of basketball operations and general manager of the Phoenix Suns, declined comment about the trade rumors surrounding Kevin Durant.
Jones, whose intention along with majority owner Mat Ishbia has been to extend Durant, who is the Suns’ lone All-Star this season, did not address Durant’s feelings about the trade possibility. According to ESPN, the Suns did not approach Durant to discuss a trade from the Suns. Durant was rumored to be en route to the Golden State Warriors before the Warriors pulled out.
“It’s been my longstanding policy to not talk about rumors, speculation,” Jones said.
