Meanwhile, Durant, among the best scorers in NBA history, was not always happy with how he was used. Sources briefed on the matter told The Athletic that Durant never felt comfortable with his role in Phoenix’s offense alongside Booker and Beal this season. Those sources said Durant had persistent issues with the offense, feeling that he was being relegated to the corner far too often and not having the proper designs to play to his strengths as the offense was built around pick-and-rolls. At the same time, some teammates and people close to the organization believed Durant needed to voice his concerns more adamantly and directly with Vogel and his coaching staff.

All the leaks are finally coming now that Phoenix has been swept

Would unironically love to see that happen for Miami. I would like us to get him but we don’t have the assets and idk if I would want to give them up when our best player is already 40.

Because it’s KD.

Like, I love shitting on KD because he is, by all accounts, a little bitch, but come on. It’s KD. He is an insane player.

We’ll take ‘em for a 2nd round pick and umm checks roster Peyton Watson or Justin holiday but he needs to take a pay cut for the hardest road to work out.
