Suns will instantly be kicking themselves for failure in Kevin Durant trade

The Phoenix Suns' return package in the Kevin Durant trade wasn't up to par with what they could've gotten, but they wanted a pick in the draft. Their wish was granted when they received the No. 10 pick, which turned out to be Duke center Khaman Maluach. He's the second of the two young players the Suns got (sorry, Dillon), but they could've had a third.

Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported that Cam Whitmore was "nearly" traded to the Suns in the KD deal, but Phoenix preferred more second-round picks. The Suns received a total of five second-round picks.
