So, who's booking the next flight out of Beantown? Well, Marc Stein recently relayed on Substack that Boston "is more apt" to trade Jrue Holiday than backcourt mate Derrick White. Stein added that rival executives regard Kristaps Porziņģis "as the most movable Boston vet."

It looked as though the Suns were ready to make one last push toward one of those play-in spots, but an injury to Durant's ankle put any hopes of that to rest. Around the trade deadline, it was rumored that the Suns were shopping Durant and that a deal was nearly in place that would've sent him to Golden State.
