PHOENIX -- ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant is frustrated with how things have started in the 2023-24 campaign:
"Start with Kevin Durant. You talk to people in Phoenix and around that organization. They can feel the frustration with Durant. Part of that, certainly, is the missed games for Bradley Beal. This team was built around those three stars. The underwhelming supporting cast that comes from those massive trades for Durant and Bradley Beal that really gutted the organization and left them having to signed a lot of minimum players to fill out the payroll," Woj said today.
"And then understanding they lack the assets, the draft picks, the trade capital to go out and really improve this team. This is something they're going to have to manage in Phoenix with Kevin Durant. You've seen it before - and it reminds you, it's a stark reminder - of how short of a window and how this team has to win big, and they have to win big quickly based on how it was constructed. Having Kevin Durant still playing at an all-NBA level and a healthy Kevin Durant - there's a lot at stake for this organization, it's gotta change soon."
