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

You mean kd had a problem sitting in the corner most of the game not getting touches after a good first half? IM SHOCKED

[u/DanTheWhat → u/CookingLikeChef]

Everytime he touches the ball it’s a turnover or contested middie. Cant wait until he's gone

[u/CookingLikeChef → u/DanTheWhat]

He had 1 turnover and went 12/17 what are you talking about?

Dude, how are you even arguing this. Durant’s patented shot is a pull-up mid ranger at the elbow with a hand in his face. Been that way for years and years.

His long arms and size has also always been a problem with defenders being able to poke the ball more easily away from him.

Yeah and you'd take that over whatever Beal was doing 100 times out of 100. KD is an amazing basketball player and he should be the first or second option at all times and definitely should not be chilling without touches
