Mat Ishbia on Kevin Durant trade: 'I think there is no risk'
How risky is this deal? Ishbia: I think there is no risk. I don’t look at it as a risk at all. I look at it as a vision and a decision. And you go with your decisions and you run with it. It doesn’t mean everything’s going to work out or that we’re going to win multiple championships and you know it was right. You have to play the games.

Kevin Durant is a unique superstar because of his adaptability and versatility.
I illustrated the value that brings to the Suns’ half-court offense by using various examples of roles and sets within it + how KD fared in them for Brooklyn this season: arizonasports.com/story/3501892/… – 12:11 PM

As the NBA evolves, it will never go back to when big men ruled the low post. But, increasingly, teams are turning to “Tall Ball” – long lineups w/bigs whose skill sets match the modern game. KD, Jayson Tatum, Evan Mobley & others discuss

New for @YahooSports: Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving say player movement is a good thing. So does Adam Silver? But is there some unintended consequences to too much of a good thing? yhoo.it/3lOjOKj – 2:04 PM

Kyrie and KD had some examples of this, notably with DeAndre Jordan.
There’s a balance here, where you have to work with your star players on things. But sometimes as a front office you just have to put your foot down and say “this is a bad idea for our team, the answer is no.” – 11:00 AM

Melissa Rohlin: Kevin Durant on MVP: “I feel like 7 to 8 dudes can get it, so, it’s like at this point, you can close your eyes and pick any one of these dudes and they become the MVP. It’s based off of really who you like as a person, to be honest, I think that plays a huge factor in it.” -via Twitter @melissarohlin / February 18, 2023
