Just 2 Days After Signing Kevin Durant, the Suns Linked to Another NBA Legend

Two days ago, the NBA world witnessed the unlikeliest deals ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline. While fans were still debating over the blockbuster Kyrie Irving trade, the Brooklyn Nets management shocked NBA fans by trading Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns. However, according to a recent report, the Suns could further surprise fans with yet another unexpected trade. 

The Suns went all guns blazing ahead of the deadline by acquiring KD and scripting strong offense players on paper. The current forward line-up of the Suns with Durant, Devin Booker, and Chris Paul had left the sports world in utter disbelief. However, Landon Buford, a veteran sports journalist, confirmed a probable trade for a 38-year-old NBA star. 

After Kevin Durant, the Suns might acquire another NBA great

As per a recent rumor that surfaced on the internet, Carmelo Anthony could get a call back to the hardwood. The rumor suggested that the Suns’ point guard Chris Paul wants the management to offer a contract to the 10-time All-Star. Notably, Anthony went into free agency after he failed to land a contract post the 2020-21 NBA season. However, a Twitter user clarified the rumor with Landon Buford with a tweet. The user shared the image of the rumor and asked, “Yo Landon did u say this, just checking?”

Buford replied to the user, “We’ll see how things play out.” Even though the journalist didn’t provide any conclusive statement, he didn’t deny Paul’s request to the management. 

Anthony played his last season in the NBA for the Los Angeles Lakers. In his 20-season-long career, the 2013 scoring champion averaged a steady 22.5 points in 1,260 games. Moreover, the star’s addition to the team would likely further improve the Suns’ offense. 

Fans debate over Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James

Anthony played his last season alongside LeBron James. However, in the current season, James has impressed his fans with consistent high-scoring games, and he recently surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the all-time NBA scoring leader. A fan pleased with ‘King James’ performance took to Twitter and wrote, “So as it turns out, LeBron in year 20 is what Prime Carmelo Anthony was…” However, not everyone was happy with the tweet, as fans swarmed the comments section.  Notably, a user replied, “I think you guys are forgetting how good prime Melo was this is pretty disrespectful.”
