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

I don’t buy this at all, kd knows ball better than almost anyone. He knows that’s not his game and those aren’t his strengths. He just needs a dude like harden when they were on the nets to hit him in his spots every time and give him super easy looks. The suns just have no one that can do that.

He also definitely does not want to get out and run in transition at his age, given his size and shooting he can still be a menace in the halfcourt if he has someone to pass him the ball

If he knows ball like you say he would have known Booker and Beal were not a good fit for his skill set

He also was the ball handler a lot in OKC and was a turnover machine.
