sounds like KD needed Steph because his iso skills never got it done in the playoffs
the movement got them rings before and after KD
KD might've created another failed Superteam

All of these can be true at the same timesounds like KD needed Steph because his iso skills never got it done in the playoffs

How is it cap when it’s never happened?
He couldn’t that’s why they ran to get KD in the first place. KD was brought in to guarantee that the Warriors wouldn’t lose in a series again to Lebron’s cavs.
KD was the better player in 2021. It wasn’t until the 2022 finals where Steph was considered better. If the Nets don’t all get hurt in 2021, it’s a different convo. Outside of that 2022 year, Steph hasn’t been a better regular season player and they both lost in the second round last year.

I think the level Steph was playing in '21 gives him some credence given Durant missed like half that season. But we could say '21 was a wash...
'16 was Steph's peak year and you could argue he was the best player in ball that regular season, but I don't remember it being widely accepted that he was a better player than Durant........it was just, "holy shyt, do you see the year this guy Steph is having"....
So I'd agree that, certainly before the 2020-21 season, there is no definitive year you could say Steph was a better player than Durant. But you could definitely, at minimum, give Durant the first 6 years of Steph's career, that he was a better player than Steph, and again most people in the moment accepted that KD was better, when they played together. This shyt about Steph being better for those 3 years is a complete revision of what the common view of them both was at the time...
Hopefully the Suns get better, but I'm not overly optimistic, which sucks because his numbers are amazing as usual. At 35, I wonder how many seasons like this he has in the tank.
Just want him to win 1 more ring

To be fair KD kinda brought this down on himself with his missteps after GS.

Yea, it’s a wrap for the old guardLost to the Grizzlies WITHOUT Ja at home with their Big 3 all suited up.
Fortunately for them the Warriors/Lakers are somehow worse so they should make the Play-Ins at the very least
No clue why they got any title contender hype
Booker is an excellent player and KD is still great obviously but Beal being the piece to put them over the top is laughable. That guy has barely played any meaningful basketball in his career
Breh they barely ever played together
How many more games do they need? KD will be asking for a trade by the deadline. This is a play in team at best. Poorly constructed.
KD to OKC trade don’t sound too bad.
