KEVIN DURANT LOOKED around PHX Arena during the March 4 home game against the LA Clippers and saw a lot of people having a "terrible time." The Phoenix Suns, losers of 11 of their previous 14, had given up 41 points in the second quarter and trailed by 19 entering the fourth.

After the deadline, Durant told former Warriors teammate Draymond Green on his podcast, "It just doesn't make sense for either side to go through that when we could just play the season out and if that's the decision you want to make in the offseason then you figure it out."
