From the athletic
“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.”

Sounds like a complete shit-show.
Beal is untradeable. The only way the sons recoup assets is by trading Booker or KD.
They done fucked up.
he left the curry to join forces with Kyrie. who tanked his title hopes by getting injured in 21 and chasing harden out of town by playing only road games for reasons unknown.
this year was awful, but honestly being a 6th seed and getting swept is the best case scenario for this garbage suns roster in the deep deep luxury tax. they wont be so lucky next year, or the next 5 years for that matter
Warriors have moved on. So should the rest of you.
they just looked so clueless out there man, armchair analyst but durant might as well have been scrating his head the whole time there
Beal is one of the worst trades in a while.
That knew he’s always hurt. And did the trade anyways
dude was in the perfect situation and let the blog bois and “national media” get in his head just like they wanted
He legit refused to answer 90% of the questions asked to him in his post game presser citing every single time that doing so would just be making excuses. Only for this to come out from Shams under The Athletic masthead, of all things, aka as good as coming from the player/his rep himself right after is wiiiild lol.
I only watched the last quarter. I checked the game stats, kd had 33 points. He deferred to booker pretty much the whole 4th quarter. I guess that’s why booker volunteered to be the starting point guard, to keep the ball in his hands.
One last ride with KD please.
Nobody puts KD in the corner
Why would someone be on the same after the thing that happened in 2019 with dray. It was pretty obvious that he is gonna leave the warriors. He had his self respect.
Blame Dray. He needs to shut his big mouth.
No. KD left for this.
And supposedly he’s bitching about the offense in PHX and how they used him..so rich 😂😂 ain’t no way
I mean his team is still in it… I do wish he’d come back though… midnight dreamin😆😆
KD should come back to us, finish out his career with Steph, and who knows how many more titles they have left in them, but thats how they should honor what they did together. Join forces again and show the league that these players getting old can still produce a winning formula. I want to see KD and Klay play together again, there is unfinished business from that Raptors final. I respect KD for trying to win it on his own, even the supergroups he created. They aren’t us and we know how to win with KD. As he gets older, his price goes down. The question would remain though, would Dray and KD bury it so they can win more chips? Maybe the olympics will light a 🔥 under them to come together again or the olympics is the last run for KD and Steph playing together. This era’s dream team is can’t miss! KD gonna get coached up again by Kerr!
Imagine if this was LeBron even curry
Kd always comes out unscathed
i respect KD and am thankful for his help with our rings but am i the only one who doesn’t really miss that roster? that was an annoying time to be a warriors fan, nobody respected any of the wins.
time to come home Kevin
