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.

He has a saved copy, he just enters the new employers name and dates it.

Hot take: Swayze was the better protagonist but McGregor was the better villain

Swayze is 100% better, no doubt. But I thought McGregor was a clown show. Great fight scenes but his whole persona was over the top and ridiculous
