With the trade deadline fast approaching many are expecting some late moves in and out of the Phoenix Suns. <\/strong><\/p>\n

While performances have started to see an upturn recently the Suns<\/a> were handed a 113-121 defeat by the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Kevin Durant<\/a> and Devin Booker<\/a> once again shone scoring 33 and 28 points respectively, however, it was not enough to earn them a fourth win on the bounce. <\/p>\n

The Suns now sit with a 24-22 record in the Western Conference<\/a> and to secure a certain playoff spot they will likely need to make some moves, something owner Matt Ishbia is not scared of<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Durant speaks out on Suns trade noise <\/h2>\n

It’s safe to say the Suns have faced their fair share of drama over the recent weeks and months with coach Mike Budenholzer not afraid to make some bold calls<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Bradley Beal has been demoted to the bench<\/a> while the franchise appears to be looking to force him out to bring in Jimmy Butler. <\/p>\n

Jusuf Nurkic has been exiled from the team and recently revealed how he had no relationship with the coach<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The uncertainty around the stars futures is not helpful for a Suns team looking to get back on track after a poor start and Durant has spoken on the impact the noise is having on the team. <\/p>\n

He said: “We grown men, most of these guys been in the league 8+ years, 9+ years….It\u2019s about doing your job and controlling what you can control every single day. Until your name is called or it\u2019s not called, you still gotta do your job, even if it\u2019s here or in another jersey”<\/p>\n

Kevin Durant on whether the trade deadline is a distraction for the Suns: "I don\u2019t think so.
