?Getting a Grandpa Squad?: Kevin Durant and the Suns Reportedly Having Eyes Set on Former All Star Baffles NBA World

After acquiring 2x NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant on the trade deadline day, the Phoenix Suns instantly established themselves as major contenders for the championship. While they had to give up multiple assets in the trade with Brooklyn Nets, the Suns will be over the moon with the addition of Durant. However, it seems like they are not done making moves as they are reportedly interested in acquiring a former All-Star. The Phoenix Suns have a spot available on the roster and they have been contemplating adding more offensive firepower to the roster. Recently, an NBA insider shed some light on the aforementioned discussions, which in turn grabbed the NBA world’s attention.

As the regular season enters its final phase, teams will be hoping to finalize their rosters as soon as possible. This will give everyone involved ample time to build chemistry ahead of the Playoffs. In the case of the Suns, that final missing piece could be 10x NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony. Melo has been a free agent since leaving the Los Angeles Lakers in 2022 and could finally be given a chance to get back in the league for one final run at the championship.

Carmelo Anthony teaming up with Kevin Durant baffled the NBA world

While answering a reader’s mailbag question about whether the Knicks are considering Anthony for one of their spots, SNY’s Ian Begley revealed the Suns are interested in acquiring him. He said, “I don?t know if New York is considering Carmelo Anthony for an open roster spot. Based on past interest, I wouldn?t be surprised if Phoenix considered Anthony for a roster spot. At at least one point in his tenure in Brooklyn, Kevin Durant saw Anthony as a great roster addition. With Durant in Phoenix, that?s something I?d keep an eye on.”

As soon as Begley reported the aforementioned news, fans started rushing into the comment section of Twitter to express their thoughts and opinions. Most of them were a bit surprised while a few users appeared to be happy with this news.

If the 10-time All-Star somehow ends up in Phoenix, then he would definitely add some depth to their squad with his shooting and experience. With Kevin Durant gearing up to return to the court soon, Suns fans’ excitement is palpable. The prospect of seeing multiple great players together is exciting. However, Devin Booker refuted claims that the Suns could be considered a superteam. He stated that they were in no position to be called a superteam as they have only one All-Star currently on their roster.
