Well KD doesn't get it if that's true, because he should have been playing even more off ball than he was, and more at the 5.

Suns should have never fired Monty Williams.

Knew this was coming, I do hope they blow this team up. Very poor idea.

No. Stay in Phoenix and keep losing. KD is a part of the problem. 6'10 and still can't rebound. Counting stats look good though. This guy is just fantasy numbers at this point.

KD will definitely try his best to get traded to a better team, if he's known for something, its not for sticking around on a slightly above average team.

I'm continually disappointed by Durant. All the talent, genetics, and skills in the world, yet doesn't see the big picture of the game. Still blaming others, not that he's the only one with fault but.. if every team you're on is dysfunctional, maybe time to look in the mirror.

My hot take, accept coaching, play with an open mind, and join the spurs.

It seems like everyone saw these problems coming except for KD himself.

Yeah no kidding KD, you went from a version of this team with Kyrie and Harden, to Booker and Beal. You're gonna get way less touches because you're not the 1st option on this team like you were on the Nets. Plus Kyrie and Harden were also elite playmakers, but regardless of comparisons I have no idea why I'm typing as if I'm talking to him, I need to go to bed lol.

I didn’t watch the Suns a lot this year, so can’t say a ton on the matter but if he’s asked to stand around in the corner he’s definitely being underutilized. Even though he’s not the guy he was, he still has the size to get off mid range shots whenever and wherever he wants and needs to get in a rhythm not be a bail out spacer who gets scraps and bail out shots. Let him get rhythm shots and work inside out like he does best.

Emphasis on all the talent in the world. Guy had everything to be top 10 all time. Outside of Jokic, nobody playing today can stand next to KD during his MVP season.

He had an incredibly efficient series but watching him vs Edwards showed the difference in mentality. KD just really never imposed his will on the game during the series. He's done it in the past (nets series vs bucks several years ago) but for the most part KD just goes with the flow. That's why GS was such a seamless fit for him.

They'll have trouble getting fair value for him. Achilles tear and 35 years old, he's not washed but he's not prime Durant either.

He got Brooklyn Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson and 4 1sts last time, I don't think he can fetch near that haul this time. Teams know he'll probably want to be traded yet again.

Where does KD go from here?

Does he beg Steph to take him back?

Does he take the easy road and demand a trade to Denver?

Does he join the team that just eliminated him?

Does he join forces with another prolofic ring chaser like LeBron?

Denver isn't gutting their team to add Durant. GS I doubt there's a trade that would be appealing to the Suns.
