KD is who he is. He's not a leader, he is a follower and an excuse maker instead of looking inward.
Everything is always everyone else's fault, and never his. He's a great player still, but I would not trade anything for him and it has nothing to do with basketball. He's a cancer, and a quiet one at that.
I think it's still worth the risk. If the Knicks can boot Randle, Durant fits like a glove.
I actually get his frustration with the Suns. The Bradley Beal experiment was a massive failure. And he has a NTC.
With the Nets, I blame Ben Simmons and the ownership, particularly how they handled Kyrie Irving.
Ben Simmons is honestly the last person i would blame for that debacle, he never asked to be traded to the Nets and his body basically imploded. He is an ass, but he came in when that situation was already f*cked. Ownership, Management and Irving were the primary culprits but Durant stayed quiet while Kyrie was acting like a lunatic and basically enabled all of the foolishness.
He is not a leader and his attitude will not be a good fit for the current Knicks culture. I can't speak to Phoenix but from what I've gathered from Suns fans, he was fully on board with dumping CP3/Ayton for Beal.
Also, I do not trust his health. This year was an outlier of his recent seasons.
