Some of this can just be summarized as “KD is really good at almost everything,” but if you enjoy the minutiae of the Suns offense and/or the aesthetic beauty of Durant’s game, this should be a fun one – 11:27 AM

I love Charles Barkley. Asking Kevin Durant to win the title as a leader when he’s got Chris Paul and Devin Booker on his team makes as much sense as him playing “who he play for?” I used to write and break stories. I can’t give Pulitzer prize parameters having never won one. 🤫 – 9:40 AM

Kevin Durant is an all-time prolific scorer and in many ways, a seamless fit with the Suns. For @PHNX_Suns, here’s a dive into how he’ll amplify and expand a high-powered offense: https://t.co/JgI894uXe5 pic.twitter.com/C0cZ2bAnoN – 9:03 AM

The LA Clippers pick swap is the most interesting watch for Houston down the stretch. 14 teams are separated by 3 losses, from pick #21 to pick #8.
What would help the #Rockets is teams getting healthy. PHX (KD), GSW (Curry), MIN (KAT) and NOP (Zion) are all missing key players. pic.twitter.com/Q773uRNb6x – 4:44 PM

“I’m sure Kev is coming back soon so we can see what that looks like.”
“We feel more anxious than the fans.”
“We’ll have to see.”

More on this storyline
Erik Slater: Kevin Durant speaks on his relationship with Kyrie Irving following his surprise trade request: “I’m disappointed that we didn’t finish the season, but I also know that we’re all our separate entities, we all move and do the things that we wanna do for our careers. I can’t fault somebody for doing that even though it might have been at our expense as a team… I don’t wanna act like I wasn’t upset that we didn’t finish the season because I love playing with Kai, I wanted to see where we can go with that because we were both playing at a high level… We haven’t had a conversation but eventually we will.” -via Twitter @erikslater_ / February 28, 2023
Erik Slater: Kevin Durant: “It impacted what we did on the floor, no doubt about that, not tryna undercut that. That hurt, not finishing out the season. But I can separate what we do on the floor and who we are as human beings. I know you got your own situation that’s got nothing to do with what we doing. You gotta move how you gotta move for the betterment of you. So, I get that part of it… I can still be upset that we didn’t finish the job, but like (you’re) cool with me.” -via Twitter @erikslater_ / February 28, 2023
Clutch Points: “You keep joining superteams to win an NBA title. How about we workout together sometime so I can teach you how to carry your own team.” Giannis to Kevin Durant 💀🤣 pic.twitter.com/UlkYJSVjFs -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / February 28, 2023
