John and Dave I hope we keep him, he is still one of the Five best players on the planet. If they stay healthy this year they can win the West. You keep KD he is a first ballot Hall of Fame player with Teo rings and Two finals MVP,s. No brainer🏀👏

[@ojoj5194]

give him to knicks and take bridges back if u guys dont want him. Everybody says kevin durant isnt a leader but when he goes down His teams Simply Cannot find a way to win . media haters saying booker s better thn kd is sad before injury nets/kd seed 1 in the east and w/o kd they lost 10 gms in the row and same happen with the suns right now they would keep seed 1 if kd was healthy.

[@alansnow1129]

Can’t trade Durant for bridges! Money doesn’t work

[@Paulovrish7334]

Delusional….the brothers?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@lil_luk3042]

people saying kd isnt a leader or "kd doesnt make a team good, just good teams better" (people say that cause of warriors stint) are real quiet right now. with kd: 1st or 2nd 8-1 without kd:

[@carlosiverson3857]

The truth is out bro..they know from the day 1 kd was really the 5 best players in de league ff today. They hate him cuz he stop bron for winning 6 rings nothing else

[@JamesDonlan-jv8bm]

John and Dave, hopefully we get KD and Brad back next week, and the fact that we are 9 and 7 due to a hot start we should be fine.

[@aaronposey18]

Is the title even a question fr 😭 mf arguably top 15 ever no matter who you talking to

[@Christopher._M]

Besides having more than KD injured. KD is just that good but even with him this team isn't going anywhere.

[@shaquanhines974]

Wtf are you talking there were 8-1 before kd got injured devin booker and bradley beal has too be better

[@ShaneAlan1]

Relax Dave, how about trade Booker and keep KD. Why you keep talking like KD is the issue?

[@markzapata4784]

No Brainer just keep him.

[@rdygonzales8070]

Stupid. How can you win a post season if can't find a continuity on the regular season. If you're winning in the regular season means you have a chance to win a post season. How will be the same as last year when they are more winning this year.

[@lindagarcia6207]

Durant is ALWAYS hurt!!! Why??

[@balimbula]

KD will not make it to the playoffs. He cannot last a full season anymore. It’s like taking a Ferrari off-road. Booker cannot carry the team. Beal hurt again. No bench. Suns are done.

[@ericjohnson9206]

Why even play Book and risk him getting hurt when you know you have absolutely no zero to win these games absolutely zero chance

[@ericjohnson9206]

They are unwatchable with no KD OR Beal you don't think this is not going to be the norm all year them two in and out your crazy get use to it be another middle of the pack in the west fighting to stay out of play in tournament and a early exit
