The first in the league at the time, it was always the second choice! Now it is rejected

After more than a month of hard work, the Pacers and the Thunder finally laughed to the end and met in the finals. The rise of young players is unstoppable. Although the Timberwolves and the Knicks have been eliminated, the competitiveness they show cannot be underestimated. Although Brunson and Edwards have not stepped into the finals, compared with the failure of veteran teams, it is already a victory for them to enter the division finals.

Some people are happy and some are worried. After they are eliminated in the playoffs, each team will consider how to strengthen next season, but one team is an accident. For example, the Suns are the most important thing they should consider at the moment is how to get rid of the team's bad assets. Having a lineup of the three luxury giants can't even spy on the playoffs. The high luxury tax has already caused headaches for the management and is imminent again. Looking at the assets in their hands, it seems that only Durant has become the bargaining chip for trading.

Looking at Durant's career, it seems that he is always inseparable from the topic of second choice. At the peak of Durant, he had no choice but to meet the league's number one player James. After the defeat in the finals and the reversal of the Warriors, Durant finally chose to join. Even if he helped the Warriors win the championship, even if he surpassed Curry to win the FMVP in the finals, Durant was never admitted by fans. Even if James was getting old, when the fans talked about it, Durant could only rank second among the big and small kings of the league. Even if he defeated James, he had never surpassed James.

However, as Durant grows older, the value of the transaction belonging to Durant is getting lower and lower. In order to get Durant, the Nets did not hesitate to let him recover for a year, waiting for Durant to return healthy. Unexpectedly, his big feet ruined everyone's dream of winning the championship. After joining the Suns, the team also paid a heavy price. If George was ridiculed by fans of 1 or 9, then Durant's transaction can only be said to be even more than that.

The Suns gave away four first-round picks + Cameron Johnson + Bridges. Bridges was traded by the Knicks with five first-round picks. Including Cameron Johnson, who is worth at least one first-round pick, the Suns spent 10 first-round picks to get Durant. Now the Suns are about to fall into the vortex of reconstruction. It is obviously unrealistic to get the chips they gave back. I thought Durant would become a big fish in the trading market this offseason. Unfortunately, this time Durant is despised again.

The first thing that has rumored to trade with Durant is the Rockets. This season, the Rockets can be said to have completed the playoff task ahead of schedule. Everyone knows that the Rockets lack a veteran with playoff experience, but judging from the latest news, the Rockets really look down on Durant. After all, they are old, and their best choice must be Antetokounmpo.

In the middle of the season, the trade rumors between Durant and the Warriors were once rumored. The Warriors had already taken enough chips to wait for Duran's characteristics. Unexpectedly, Durant finally chose to reject the Warriors. Now, Butler has played a 1+1 or more than 2 combination with Curry. If Durant chooses the Warriors now, the latter will not give him such a chance.

Even though he is 37 years old, Durant's offensive ability is still the top presence in the league, and his average 20+ game is still the offensive ceiling. However, so far in his career, Durant's biggest shortcoming may be the lack of certain organizational skills. To put it bluntly, Durant can only become the second leader of the team at present.

At the peak of his career, James was suppressed by him, even the trade was second only to Antetokounmpo. Now that he changed the team again, a team that could give the conditions could not position Durant's core player. Looking at his career, he can only sigh that perhaps it is really the second child's life. After fighting for more than ten years, he still cannot get rid of it.
