Durant will rebuild after the Suns sold out? The 7+4 forward is also on the shelves, the 31-year-old defender is rejected

After entering the offseason, all teams began to take action, and the Phoenix Suns made a big move and sent Kevin Durant to Space City, entering a new era. Everyone is still a little confused about the future development of the Suns. Logically speaking, Devin Booker will continue to stay in the team, but if he is the only one, the Suns may still be the team on the edge of the playoffs.

According to new reporter Ary, the Suns may start their reconstruction journey after selling out Kevin Durant. Among them, forward Cody Martin also puts the Suns on the shelves. If he is not sent away, the Suns will not execute Cody Martin's team options next season. In addition, 31-year-old defender Misic seems to be disliked. Both players have expired contracts, but if the team options are implemented, their salary will exceed US$8 million next season, which is very stressful for the Suns. Cody Martin and Misic were both sent to the Suns by the Hornets in the middle of this season, and their performance was not particularly outstanding. For example, in the first half of the season, Cody Martin averaged 7.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. However, after joining the Suns, he played 14 times as a substitute, and averaged 3.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. Moreover, his overall efficiency was scary. He scored only 3 goals in 27 shots outside the three-point line, and the basket was smashed.

When Cody Martin will celebrate his 30th birthday, as a typical 3D engineer, his market conditions are still somewhat. After all, height and size are put here, if you want to improve the depth of the wing, some teams may try it on Cody Martin. If the Suns are not able to do their best, then the Suns will not be able to compete for the championship and will naturally not implement the Cody Martin team options. The salary and luxury tax pressure will drop much less than now.

As for defender Misic, as the second round pick in 2014, he did not enter the league until the 23-24 season, and was both pure substitutes in the Thunder and Hornets. In the first half of this season, Misic scored good data, averaging 7.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists per game, but after being sent to the Suns, he seemed to be fully revealed. Misic only played 5 times in total, and scored 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and he did not have the strength of the NBA at all. With Misic's next salary, let alone the Suns want to deal with it, other teams may not be willing to take over even if they fill in the poor line. So what is waiting for Misic may not be just abandoned by the Suns. Combined with his age and performance, he left the NBA and returned to the European basketball arena. It is probably a high probability event.
