Even though the NBA Finals are in session, Kevin Durant and his agent are trying to figure out the best destination to move to. He is set to leave the Phoenix Suns any time now as they work with teams to negotiate the best set of assets to exchange.

There are many rumors of potential moves as the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, and Miami Heat swirl around with various trade packages that may interest the Suns. It might not be as good as what they could have received before the February trade deadline, but it will be a good way to start their rebuild.

The team cannot offload Bradley Beal‘s contract, as his no-trade clause poses a major obstacle. However, with Durant, they can try and get hold of draft picks and players with whom they can figure out their next stage to reconstruct their roster.

Along with this, there were rumors of bad locker room vibes emanating after the trade deadline. Now, on top of that, former All-Star DeMarcus Cousins added fuel to the fire by suggesting that Suns players threw hands at each other. A reference to this quote caught Kevin Durant’s eye.

I have to contest this 94 footer. This some bulls**t to throw on us. Yea yea yea we were trash this year ha ha ha but we NEVER got close to this. NEVER.

Kevin Durant wrote on X

The 15-time All-Star rubbished these claims as he was in the locker room with everyone and certified that it never came close to this any time throughout the season. This led to a back-and-forth with Cousins on social media.

DeMarcus Cousins counters Kevin Durant’s claims

By clearing the air of any reported fistfights inside the Phoenix Suns locker room, Kevin Durant was basically calling cap on Cousins’ claim. The recently suspended center fired back by claiming that one of KD’s teammates told him so and asked him to save the claims for others who do not have a clue.

Whoa whoa Boog, I don’t want no problems with you or anybody on earth. I Promise, all I’m saying is your source is lying.

Kevin Durant replied

The Slim Reaper chose to reply to Boogie Cousins directly to inform him that his source, whoever the Suns player is, was lying. Cousins claimed that a Suns player told him so while on the Run It Back podcast. Now that Kevin Durant is calling the source a liar, it has affected his former Golden State Warriors teammate.

DeMarcus Cousins ends discourse with Kevin Durant’s lying claims

Anyone who has seen DeMarcus Cousins play in the NBA knows how hot-headed he can be. Therefore, many try to keep it calm whenever they are around him. It seems Durant knows that too, which is evident in the 36-year-old’s reply. From then on, the former Sacramento Kings star decided to end this discourse.

No issue at all killa. Don’t play me for a liar though. The segment I was speaking on was actually defending you as a player. I’m actually tapped in with players unlike the media guys you don’t rock with. Never on some messy s**t. That’s why I didn’t go into details about it.

DeMarcus Cousins replied to Kevin Durant

The Alabama native added that he did not say this for clickbait or to draw likes. He revealed this just as his source told him. However, he understands that Durant calling cap on it indicates there is some more to dig into. Cousins, however, does not want all that and has made peace with his former teammate.
