In this basketball transfer season, the Phoenix Suns have made drastic moves, not only making significant changes to the roster, but also a major change in management. If you want to say who has the greatest impact on all this, it has to be Kevin Durant. His trophy dreams now seem more and more like climbing Mount Everest and forgetting to bring an oxygen tank.
I have to mention the operation of the sun this time. They were able to sign a new manager in just 24 hours, and the unfortunate lucky winner was Mike Budenholzer. With four years left on Vogel's contract, the Suns are ready for a new coach. This kind of vigorous and resolute style really makes people admire the decisiveness of the Sun's top management, although the outside world has mixed reviews about it.
Let's take a look at Durant. The basketball superstar is now undergoing his sixth coach change, and in just 18 months, he has welcomed his fifth head coach. Such frequent changes are not easy for any player, especially a player like Durant, who always has the ambition and pressure to challenge for a championship. However, looking at the current situation of the Suns, it is really difficult for Durant to win the championship.
Regarding the Suns' big change, we have to talk about their coaching staff. Budenholzer reportedly took over and quickly informed the assistant coaching team under Vogel that they would not be staying with the new Suns. This means that the new coaching staff will be completely reconstituted by Budenholzer. The outside world may think that this is just a change of soup, but for the Suns, it is an attempt to find new breakthroughs through radical change.
And on the court, the Suns have a lot of problems. They lack playmakers, defenders who can handle the ball, let alone interior defense. While the duo of Durant and Booker looks powerful on the offensive end, it looks inadequate when it comes to defense and other tactical coordination. To make matters worse, even the so-called Big Three, Beal, is nowhere near superstar on the court, and his contract is long and expensive, which is undoubtedly a heavy burden for the Suns.
In the final analysis, although the Suns' operation is full of determination and hope, it is also full of unknowns and risks. For Durant, his championship dreams have become more distant in this series of changes. Such an environment is undoubtedly a huge challenge for him.
At this point, as a basketball fan, you may be wondering: With so many changes, what will the future hold for Durant and the Suns?
