Before Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets decided to run it back, there was no shortage of trade rumors linked to Durant's name. One team that was reportedly in on the KD sweepstakes was the Phoenix Suns. Suns' star Devin Booker addressed the previous KD rumors on Monday, per Gerald Bourguet.

“We have what we have here,” Booker said. “KD going to the market, I'm sure every team's ears went up…he's one of the best players to ever play this game. But I'm happy with our foundation here.”
