Shockingly he exits like a tool after not providing them the lift they need. Durant has always been a floor raiser, never a ceiling raiser. He’s never wanted to be the guy, the leader. Hope rockets aren’t hoping for much out of him. We’re at “Scottie Pippen in Portland” time.
Good on Phoenix for moving on, I’m sure they’d move Beal as well if NJ hadn’t given him a no trade clause lol…PHX still screwed.

I think you got it the other way around…

Seems risky trading away 2 starters (combined 35 pts per game) for a vet who has played more than 75 games only once in the last decade. Especially considering how young the core group is. I imagine they were only getting better.
