So now Stephen A is saying he's right because the team "might consider trading him eventually"? Man the way ESPN lets this man get up here and make up stuff consistently is wild

You think he doesn’t get this info from people in the league ? He religiously stated if his sources want to bend the truth that’s on them his job is to report on what he hears. What’s so hard to comprehend? I get it you take his word as gospel so if anything happens otherwise you in here crying in the comments…that’s the issue grain of salt my boi grain of salt 🤣🤣

@jooniebewatchin 2 күн бұрын

@@quis363just because he gets some info from in the league, doesn’t mean he gets all info from in the league. Anytime someone denies his claims, which isn’t always, he just blames his sources or says “well I guess we’ll never know unless they do it and I’m wrong” which means he can’t be wrong ever. 😂 Doing that will make you seem like you made it up at a certain point. Boy who cried wolf type beat. And as long as people think because he quotes sources sometimes he deserves validity everytime is a fallacy.

I want to say something that no one wants to admit… and that’s that, as good as KD is, he is not needed to win a championship and you can not use him as the center piece to win a championship. He is good, great even, but multiple teams can tell you he’s not the answer. You need to already have a TRUE championship team built already, otherwise you are just wasting your money and hoping for something he has proven he can’t bring you

I think you can make Kevin Durant your centerpiece, you just need to build around him properly & the thing with KD is I don’t think he chooses teams that fit him best & he values scoring too much.
