Bickley Blast: What the Phoenix Suns will look like after trading Kevin Durant

kevin Durant’s curious time in Phoenix is almost over and his legacy will be complicated There was memorable shot making and interesting interviews There were two playoff victories and zero series wins in two and a half seasons And there was the unfathomable juxtiposition of he and Devin Booker starring in Paris while winning gold medals only to finish 10 games under 500 when they came home and put on Suns uniforms His trade will be also a litmus test for the new front office I’ve heard the Suns expect a bounty in return and I fear the market will bear far less than they think Their skill and their inexperience will be tested and what deal they choose will say much about their negotiating skills and our future Finally his trade will also have a serious muting effect like a plane disappearing from a radar screen The Suns will become 100% irrelevant in the basketball world outside of Phoenix the moment Katie is gone There will be no other player on the roster worthy of the hottake platforms and we are going to feel very very alone But personally I cannot wait I want everything about the past two years swept in a dustpan and disposed And I want to see if Book can carry a team and a boulder up the mountain all by himself just like the heroes of his youth In fact Kobe Bryant once famously told him to be legendary And soon that mission and that moment will finally arrive

Dan Bickley shares his thoughts on the Kevin Durant era in Phoenix and what the Suns should focus on next once Durant is traded.
