Durant requests trade
- Thread starter SLAB
- Start date
I feel like Kyrie has been a net negative on most of the team's he's been on. He's an exciting player to watch but his selfishness seems to get old quickly in locker rooms. I'm not even sure what to say about KD at this point. Did anyone else see Kendrick Perkins on JJ Redick's podcast talking about his time in OKC? It sounds like Durant also likes to do his own thing and his inability to build camaraderie with teammates has handicapped his potential throughout his career. And Ben Simmons is the biggest "what if" in the league right now. He's a first team all-defense would be superstar who either doesn't want to play basketball or currently can't handle the pressure of max salary expectations.
All three of them are good enough individually that a team can compensate for their short-comings in the aggregate with a positive team culture around them but putting all of them on the same team is an idea that was likely doomed to failure from its inception. You'd probably need the Zen Master to make that big three work for more than half a season or so and the Zen Master is retired.
