He's soft, mentally. He didn't realize all the shite he'd get for joining the Warriors and it got to him. He tried to create his own path where it was his team and he'd get all the credit...and failed. That's why he picked the Suns and Heat as his top 2 options. 2 teams close to a title where he can pretend to be the alpha, but where really another player is the alpha. This was his problem even back in OKC.



This is the Stephen A/Skip take.


Durant wasn’t satisfied his time with GSW. Sure he became the best basketball player on the planet during his time there. It wasn’t enough.


Durant is on the spectrum, it’s what makes him great.

He made an logical decision with OKC-ie Westbrook isn’t great and can’t be trusted.

He didn’t fail in Brooklyn. Brooklyn failed him.

But the talking heads, and guys like SFP-non basketball guys, spit bullshite.

How?

He had a coach furd and an all star traded just to get his good buddy and washed DeAndre Jordan some minutes. He still blames the front office for the Kyrie situation.

KD was in charge there, this is on him.

No. They would make the point of his leadership/mental issues and try to detract from his legacy. I am not.

KD is a top-10 player of all time. I have loved watching him play basketball since the first Texas game I saw him play in.

I think you are the last remaining KD-stan who is not his wife. Damn you are knighting him here.

Westbrook was forced to try to bail KD's arse out of many playoff games when KD would shrink into the corner like a scared bitch. When Westbrook was featured, it was because KD was shying away from the moment. That's a KD problem.

Holy fricking shite.

How did Brooklyn fail KD? Hell, they even convinced Kyrie to opt-in to keep the hand-picked band together (the 3rd or 4th iteration of KD's preferred team/lineup), and then KD demands a trade.

Every major move KD requested/demanded (including the highly irrational choice of Deandre Jordan over Jarrett Allen. How did that work out?) was done by the Nets and every major move blew up in their face. Is your argument that Brooklyn failed KD b/c it acquiesced to his demands to avoid him demanding a trade?

TIL KD has a TD burner, too.

Bruh lol. This is like saying the Lakers front office failed Lebron lol. Every move made he asked for or had a say in it. They bent over backwards for him. If it failed, it was his fault. He couldn’t control Irving was the big issue.
