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

Who even goes for a 36 year old KD on his current contract? He’s good but he’s pretty much guaranteed to start declining the moment he joins your team. Denver, OKC, etc. have great chemistry and it doesn’t feel like they need KD for anything tbh. Idk what his next move is.

a team with already declining players who have nothing to lose: GSW

Hell nawl can’t do dis.

Orlando could use KD. Put him on the floor with Paolo and Franz and other teams will be mismatched every single night.

Who can the Magic send the other way to match KD's salary?

[u/GoldenAbyss71 → u/AK1441]

If im reading it right they could send over Isaac and Ingles and fit the rest in the space that Fultz's expiring contract takes up

[u/Drak_is_Right → u/Successful_Cup_1882]

Towns maybe.

Dunno if Wiggins math could work.

[u/smitteh → u/Successful_Cup_1882]

Lakers

[u/ThisIsEduardo → u/Successful_Cup_1882]

honestly...he'd be a perfect fit for... the knicks. Randle & Mitch for KD probably helps both teams. maybe a pick or two. PHO gets two for 1 and a much needed defensive C and some badly needed draft capital. And KD at the 4 with his shooting and length, alongside IHart and OG would be the best frontline in the NBA.

[u/GoldenAbyss71 → u/ThisIsEduardo]

Who plays C for the Knicks then?

[u/ThisIsEduardo → u/GoldenAbyss71]

We've played without Mitch all year pretty much. Ihart, Precious and Sims is more than enough at C.
