When the Suns can't even beat the Trail Blazers, who are determined to rebuild, it's hard to believe that this is a team that wants to win a championship......
Ironically, as early as the beginning of this season, the Phoenix Suns were among the top four in the West, and now the Suns are 11th in the West with a 14-15 record.
When they didn't even make it to the play-offs, how do you convince people that the Suns are still a champion......
Even if the Suns have super scorers such as Durant and Booker, they can't change the fact that the team's configuration is unbalanced, offensive and defensive are unbalanced, and the strength is weak, right?
It is worth mentioning that when the Suns played 29 games last season, the team's record was 17 wins and 12 losses, even if the record was average, but the winning rate finally exceeded 50%.
With the Suns suffering another three-game losing streak after yesterday's home loss to the Mavericks, it's no wonder Durant is frustrated.
According to Woj, the Suns have now felt Durant's frustration, who is frustrated and disappointed with Beal's injury and lineup configuration -
The Suns spent a lot of money trading from the Wizards to Beal in the offseason, but Beal has only played 6 games so far, and the number of games the Suns Big Three have played together is only a handful -
Durant, Booker and Beal have played in just two games this season, with a combined total of just 24 minutes, and the Suns have lost both games.
Looking at the salary space this season, it's not hard to see why there are so few solar-powered people these days.
In other words, when the salaries of the Big Three almost filled the salaries of the whole team, almost all the remaining players signed with base salaries, so you can imagine how strong their strength is......
This season, Durant's salary is $47.65 million, Beal's salary is $46.74 million, Booker's is $36.01 million, and this brother accounts for $130 million, plus Nurkic 16.87 million and Allen's 8.92 million, the rest of the players are almost all base salaries......
To add insult to injury, the Suns' salary has been locked in this season, and the team has no draft assets, so it can be said that the Beal trade has almost overdrawn the Suns' future......
When Durant is discouraged and even his patience is exhausted, will the 35-year-old Durant once again consider joining another team to continue chasing a championship......
This season has been hot for Peter the Great, and when the two join forces, does it mean that the championship trophy will belong to Philadelphia?
So is it possible for the Philadelphia 76s to get Durant?
If Durant is to be brought in, Philadelphia may have to pay Tobias Harris, Korkmaz, Martin Jr., Springer, the 2026 first-round pick (the lowest pick in the first round of the Thunder, Clippers, and Rockets), the 2026 first-round swap, the 2028 first-round pick (from the Clippers), the 2028 first-round swap (top-eight pick protected), plus four second-round picks......
The 35-year-old Durant is still at the top of his game this season, averaging 30.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game so far this season.
But there are not many peaks for Durant, and when the Suns have no hope of winning the championship, it may be when the 35-year-old leaves......
And all this may be in the near future......
