If you find yourself saying, "If [insert +35-year-old superstar] can stay healthy for the rest of the season...", your team is probably cooked. Warriors, Lakers, and Suns are committing elder abuse by relying on these guys. Imagine the 2012 Heat asking Ray Allen to be their first option.

KD and steph can still be first options but in steph's case, he has no help that roster is all mid role players. Kuminga was looking decent but now injured extended time so gg. Suns have a beal problem, but that was obvious before they got him so its kinda on front office.

And the the Devin booker - KD duo could’ve be nice, but they gave Beal a horrible deal, the Suns now have no picks which = no future; The Suns looked good when he was healthy, but without Durant they looked completely hopeless. Now the Sun’s pretty much have to let him go despite him still playing fine because they made some really bad decisions with the roster construction. Please correct me if im wrong, I haven’t been super up-to-date on the NBA past 2 seasons, but from what i saw; Durant on the Suns has failed mostly because of bad front office decisions and not him just playing horrible

Durant simply doesn’t play a style that can carry the full load of a poor roster. Jokic and LeBron are both ELITE ball distributors and playmakers. They have an internal feel for how to get good shots for mediocre players. Durant is a very good passer for 7’ and has outstanding gravity, but he doesn’t create offense for others when it isn’t there. They NEED a true PG. Booker plays the position but he’s a SG deep down.

Personally i think it has more to do with the collapse of defense in the nba and the over-reliance on 3s. Big 3s dont really work anymore, but a few teams rely on big 3s and big 2s to make it to the top, but that formula is dying. JT and JB on the Celtics are great players, but they're not top 3 in the NBA each. However, they have a huge supporting cast and that cast can defend well enough to compete, and they can shoot. All the old guys are part of teams that aren't well built around them, and they're too old to defend well.

Big Brain Idea - Instead of getting Beal, Pat Riley convinces Phoenix to send them Booker for Butler. Still fixes the skillset overlap problem for Phoenix. Miami sends their 2029 & 2031 1sts as well, then in a separate trade (to stay CBA compliant) sends them Kalel Ware. For Phoenix trade ends up being essentially Booker for Butler, Ware, and 2 1sts. Seems like a fair deal if they want to still try and compete with Durant as opposed to tearing it down. For Miami you get your long term star to pair with Bam.
