Its wild all this has to happen because of a freaking no trade clause on Bradley Beal lmao
“a contender of his choosing” is a really good way to sum up his career lmao
of his choosing? holy shit ppl r gonna be angry at the package the suns r getting
Nico about to field a team of oldmen AD, Kyrie, KD & a bunch of vet-min guys
Roster stability is not in KD’s vocabulary.
Minnesota needs to try and get KD
Durant to the Nuggets would be so crazy
Does the contender get to choose? Or do they have to get KD even if they don’t want him?
Because tbh, I’m not sure which contender can match KD’s 54m salary and consider it an improvement on their roster. Especially when he’s either a 1y rental, or you’d have to extend him in his very late 30s.
He’s got such a complicated career. Certainly an all time great but no team truly loves him. I’d be shocked if he gets a statue. Man has burnt more bridges than anybody other than William Tecumseh Sherman

Photoshop those Mavs jerseys. Nico definitely trading all he can for him lol. Another Nike guy to add like an infinity stone.
teams are so nice to KD but KD is not nice
I really hate to say it, but… Legacy Points: DEDUCTED
Kinda a bummer as the Suns gave up Bridges, Cam Johnson and 4 1sts for KD, then get Beal of all people to join him on a team w no depth or defense, now he wants out cause the result isn’t working. It was obviously not gonna work for the start. Too much of a pattern from KD since he left the Warriors… go to a new “super team” built around him, then bail when it falls apart.
He’s still elite, but something’s missing on teams where he’s the lead dude.
No one has tarnished KD’s legacy more than Kevin Durant
It sounds like the Suns don’t really care where KD goes.
Suns zombie heat run incoming
KD back home to OKC confirmed.
So, who’d be your guess(es) on which team lands Durant in a trade this upcomming summer.
I could see the Rockets (though I think they’d want Booker the most), Heat, Mavs, Clippers (maybe?) or Knicks try to acquire him. I wouldn’t completely rule out the Warriors, Wolves or Nuggets as I could see them as possibly dark horse teams.
Bro how many times is KD gonna keep hopping teams?? Lmao
Shoulda never left OKC
Bus rider
Durant keeps going to contenders… and makes them less contenders.
Can’t wait to see what bad decisions he forces onto his new team.
The Hardest Road: Part 6
What version of the hardest road is this?
Durant has never led anything in his career, he just goes to whatever team is set up to succeed now. Luckily he’s shit at choosing, so he’ll probably end up on the Wizards.
KD will fuck up any team he goes to, if you want your team to be mediocre for the upcoming 5 years then trade for him.
They used to call Lebron a mercenary, KD the biggest mercenary to exist lmaoo. Bro joins every team and then dips when shit gets hard and leaves them with nothing
Trades require two sides to agree.
Traded to a contender???
Shouldn’t having KD make you a contender or at least playoff caliber
if ur a contender is it worth gutting your team for a 37 year old durant
