Kevin Durant is undoubtedly one of the most talented scorers to ever play the game of basketball.
But following his shocking move to the Golden State Warriors in 2016, Durant has seemingly lost the respect of most fans for joining the best team in NBA history.
On top of that, Durant has continued to move forward in that direction, demanding a trade to the Phoenix Suns in the 2022-23 season.
However, despite getting traded there and pushing the Suns to trade for Bradley Beal in the summer of 2023, Kevin Durant is reportedly unhappy with the team right now, as revealed by Adrian Wojnarowski via NBACentral on Twitter.
“They can feel the frustration with Durant, part of that is with the missed games with Bradley Beal,” NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski said.

Durant is reportedly frustrated with the Suns due to a lack of a supporting cast right now and NBA fans didn’t show any sympathy for the two-time NBA champion.
KD causing drama?
Shocking.

Everyone knew that Bradley Beal trade wasn’t smart for Phoenix. Could’ve rounded out the roster way better with that money.

Another failed superteam 😭😭

KD basically recreated Brooklyn in PHX — and then complains and creates problems 😂😂

Bro tryna get traded again

Most fans called out Durant for showing frustration this soon in the 2023-24 NBA season.
After all, many reports suggested that it was Durant’s idea to get Bradley Beal on the roster in exchange for the team’s depth.
Now, considering Bradley Beal has struggled with injuries throughout the season, it seems a bit premature for Durant to be frustrated by the team.
As of now, Durant is averaging 30.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game for the Suns.
Unfortunately, despite Durant’s excellent numbers, the Suns are currently the 11th seed in the Western Conference with a 14-14 record.
Can the Phoenix Suns still save their season, or will the 35-year-old superstar request another trade in his career? Only time will tell.
