    I’ll never understand notion KD destroyed any teams. Brooklyn was an amazing run prior to Harden & Kyrie injuries. That team was absolutely wrecking teams when they played together. The 2nd year was COIVID and Kyries bullshit. I can see why KD wanted out. KD balled out for PHX as well it’s not his fault the rest of that team absolutely sucked and the owner is arguably one of the worst in sports, again I can see why KD asked to be traded.

    The way I saw it, everyone of the Nets Big 3 shared some blame for destroying what could have been. Kyrie's anti-vax thing started it. Harden being impatient with the injuries and Kyrie's antic forced KD to take side. KD instead of being the mature leader sided with Kyrie which dropped the final straw for Harden wanting out.

    All three guys are flaky dudes. I've never liked Durant's character. But he's undeniably one of the greatest players of all time.

    You should check out his western conference finals highlights when he was with the Warriors. Get your popcorn.

    The more days pass the more I like this trade.

    KD is prob one of the most underrated players ever. People always discount him because he went to GSW, but people forget he was also the reason GSW dominated so much, he won Finals MVP and basically solo'd prime Lebron and shut him down.

    If you look at his stats, KD has a case for being one of the top 3 players in the league at 36 yrs old which is unheard off, even Lebron wasnt this good at age 36. Forget his history of 15 seasons scoring 60%+ TS, just this season the dude was scoring at 64% TS which is even higher than SGA and only a little bit worse than Jokic. And apparently his defense is still elite at his age, I thought the dude would have fallen off a bit by now but according to some stats he is still one of the better 1 on 1 defenders in the league.

    The way KD has been playing I think he can play till he is 45 or w/e, it just depends on if his health holds up and if he wants to play that long. I think 40 is def achievable, and I wouldnt mind a 4 yr deal if it means he signs for a discount on that extension.

    The reason was that he did not achieve a championship with OKC and when he got older he teamed up with Harden and Kyrie and DA Jordan.

    That was a disaster.... and you knew exactly why he is not popular, he runs his mouth on social media.

    Also he said he probably plays for his home DC but he never did.

    It was never just about his game, he just had too much going on around him, tons of baggage, lost friendships or torn down bridges.
