Even the mighty Kevin Durant could do nothing to save the Suns from the wrath of the Cavaliers. The post Kevin Durant Issues Direct Statement to Suns Front Office Amid Jimmy Butler’s Desperate Hopes of Reunion appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Jimmy Butler, you are a Phoenix Sun. That is if Kevin Durant gets what he reportedly wants.

Kendrick Perkins believes that the Suns are pursuing Jimmy Butler, so they can please and extend Kevin Durant.

Book has had everything handed to him since James Jones arrived. Promising new rookies. (Josh Jackson, Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson). All-time great veterans (Chris Paul, Durant and Beal). New coaches (Monty Williams, Frank Vogel and Mike Budenholzer). The franchise has even upgraded the locker room and practice facility.
