Annual salary of 53 million, but it has become the most overrated super giant! After leaving Curry, you will never win the championship again

This year's playoffs have not ended, but the league has already caused a stir because the offseason trading market has hidden secrets. In Shams's words, this summer's offseason will become the craziest offseason in NBA history, and a large number of superstars will wait for their trading news. Perhaps the most important ones are Antetokounmpo and Durant. Antetokounmpo can no longer stick to his loyalty to one person and one city. After three consecutive seasons eliminations, he had the idea of leaving the Bucks for the first time and became the biggest fish in the market. There is no doubt that Antetokounmpo's final decision will affect the future trend of the entire league. His transfer will also affect other subsequent transactions in the league, changing the league structure. Whoever gets Antetokounmpo will become one of the biggest favorites to compete for the championship next season.
Durant, his trading value may not be as high as the letters, but Durant is better adaptable and easier to be compatible with the team for most teams. Some teams can get KD without the cost of breaking up the team, viewing him as a championship puzzle for the next few years. This season's regular season, 36-year-old Durant still averaged 36.5 minutes per game, scored 26.6 points in the league, 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists, shooting percentage of 52.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 43.0%, offensive efficiency and basic data are all top-notch in the league, and they are still the first-class super scorer in the league. Unfortunately, his Suns team has performed poorly this season, and can even be said to be one of the most disappointing teams this year.
The Suns have a gorgeous lineup, and the luxury tax that needs to be paid is the first in the league. The starting lineup is in the top three of Durant, Booker and Bill. The offensive firepower is full, but they stop in the regular season. Their final record is 36 wins and 46 losses, ranking only 11th in the Western Conference. Regarding the reason for its failure, on the one hand, of course, the team's lineup structure is not very good, lacks defensive resources, and does not have qualified starting centers. Although they also traded Nurkic for Richards in the middle of the season, the latter's effect still did not reach the Suns' ideal level. On the other hand, the compatibility of the Big Three is not very good. Although Durant, Booker and Bill are all superstars and have experienced leading the team with the boss, all three need the right to play the ball to find the feel, and their offensive methods are relatively single, and they lack the ability to organize and connect the team.
The Suns have also thought of ways to seek changes and delegate Bill to the bench, but they still cannot solve the practical problem of incompatibility of the Big Three. There is no organizational point to control the rhythm of the game, which is exactly Durant's shortcomings. Speaking of Durant, his personal abilities need not be questioned. The achievements and honors he has obtained are second only to James and Curry among active players, ranking third in the league. After experiencing a major injury with a ruptured Achilles tendon, he can still recover to his peak level and average 25+ points per game. This is really admirable. However, compared with other superstars, Durant's ability to lead the team is obviously overestimated. He has always been moving forward on the road of group formation. Whether it is the fantasy threes in the Nets' group Irving + Harden + KD, or the firepower threes in the Suns' group Booker + Bill + KD, Durant has never succeeded in the playoffs, and has not even scored in the division finals.
Only in the Cosmic Warrior period, in the strongest team at the historical level, did we win two championships, just like the famous saying of Meng Meng Green: Before you come to the Warriors, we are the championships. After KD left, the Warriors won another championship in 22 years. In fact, it is not difficult to explain why Durant's ability to lead the team is so poor, because of his playing style. He basically focuses on singles on the offensive end. He has a strong ability to solve the scoring, but he cannot connect the entire team and it is difficult to lead his teammates to score. At the same time, Durant's enthusiasm and leadership abilities are also a certain gap with the superstars of other teams. This is why Durant is really not suitable as the boss of a team. If he wants to win the championship, he has to put down his figure and continue to join in. It is better to be the second leader of a team.
The annual salary is 53 million, but it has become the most overrated super giant! After leaving Curry, you will never win the championship again. Durant has one year left in his contract, and his annual salary will reach 53 million next season. No matter which team takes over KD, he will probably not be included in the team's long-term future plan. It may be a big deal next season to try his luck. Whether it can help the team break through the upper limit and whether it can break the Green formula is here. Suns reporter Gambadoro said that Kevin Durant privately told a person he trusted that he felt he would go to the Spurs in the end. If he came to the Spurs, Fox and Vinban Yamahao, there would still be some highlights. However, the Spurs have not reached the playoff level in recent years. It is very unlikely that they will soar to the top to compete for the championship. Besides, Popovich resigns, and Vinban Yama's health will not be guaranteed. It is basically impossible for Durant to win another championship in the future.
