    KD is only a play finisher at this stage of his career, you cannot ask him to get himself into position on ball, or to create for others. You run plays where others help get KD into his spots off ball, and then you find him.

    KD does not need to be doing live ball turnovers 5 times a game, getting stripped and his passes intercepted trying to create. Stop the madness.

    I knew KD was musty

    nobody who goes out in public with their facial hair that nappy and skin so ashy it looked like he did snow angels in flour could not be musty

    when KD is ungroomed he is at his best. I need him to continue not to groom himself.

    This is so funny. The **** we trade for him then. I was told he was not old and he still the superstar now with the lame excuses about age. This is exactly why I didnt want his ass here.

    A negative valued Jalen, #10 and Brooks doesn't land you a prime superstar.

    He's scoring 25 ppg on 63%, thats not bad at all for what we gave up for him, we just need the coaching staff to be more savvy with what we've got. He's not a give him the ball at the top of the key and coast type of guy, he needs plays ran, super basic ones.

    You dont know what we could have offered the Hornets for lamelo or any team. We have crazy assets. The idea that you think we had no choice but to get KD is ridiculous. We have picks which are smarter to use for him because he fits our timeline.

    It would help if they had a player with any kind of offensive ability in 3 of their 4 other starting positions.

    I don’t think it’s controversial at all. Durant can’t get separation on his own anymore. All he has is his length to shoot tough middies over the top of his defenders. He is a great 3 pt shooter, but Ime doesn’t have the balls or the offensive acumen to make him space the floor. Ime doesn’t even coach offense. Last year he handed it over to FVV and Jalen. This year he’s handed it over to Durant and Sengun. He has no plan other than his stupid 2 big BS. I wouldn’t be surprised if he runs out Adam’s, Sengun, Capella and two smalls one day.

    KD talks a lot with the crowd a lot and acts kind of silly

    Shooting wise for sure. Defense and spacing, nah. Durant is a great shooter. 3 pts counts more than 2 points. Maybe he should take more of those?

    KD is a very good 3pt shooter. He just loves the middie.
