Gilbert Arenas: If Suns don’t win, this would be the biggest failure for Kevin Durant
The combination of Durant, Booker and Paul make for an imposing trio, and up the stakes much more considerably for the Suns — especially for their newly acquired star. “If they don’t win, f–k the Nets’ group” Arenas said, “this would be the biggest failure for Kevin Durant.”

Nets still have to deal with the Ben Simmons issue… Exec: “Brooklyn had questions and problems with Kyrie and KD from an organizational standpoint, but at least those guys could play. They were good. Ben has been less than good.”

Seeing Harrison Barnes have the 2nd best +/- for the 3rd seed out west, long removed from back to back stellar teams in GS, had the Warriors just kept him and not made the move for KD, how many titles would that team have won to date? – 5:45 PM

PMers: The NBA will never return to a game dominated by big men in the low post. But, increasingly, teams are turning to “Tall Ball” – lineups w/bigs whose skill sets match the modern game. KD, Jayson Tatum, Evan Mobley & others discuss, in @TheAthletic: bit.ly/3KsX2Ca – 5:00 PM

It may go unnoticed, but the training staff of the Capital City Go-Go built Kris up, and he always credited them for that. He was the ultimate pro, and several Go-Go players are better because of the selfless wisdom KD gave to them. I’ll miss working with him; incredible guy. – 2:11 PM

Kevin Durant is a unique superstar because of his adaptability and versatility.
I illustrated the value that brings to the Suns’ half-court offense by using various examples of roles and sets within it + how KD fared in them for Brooklyn this season: arizonasports.com/story/3501892/… – 12:11 PM

More on this storyline
NBA great Gilbert Arenas believes Kevin Durant is facing more pressure with the Suns then he has his entire career. On Fubo Sports’ “No Chill with Gilbert Arenas” this week, the former All-Star claimed that if the Suns don’t win the 2023 NBA Finals, it will undoubtedly be the “biggest failure” of Durant’s career. “Chip, chip with the dip,” Arenas said when asked about the Suns’ odds of winning the championship. “I don’t even know why we’re playing. This is not even a question. You have [Durant and Devin Booker] that’s capable of 50, 60, 70 [points]. Both half-court players. Both mid-range players. Both players you can’t actually play one-on-one, they’ll eat you alive.” -via New York Post / February 22, 2023

In recent years, former Wizards teammate Gilbert Arenas publicly called Brown a “drunk” and took several other shots at Brown personally. For Brown, he sees Arenas’ comments as part of the larger problems he views with the culture. “I don’t wanna talk about that guy, after he mentioned putting a pistol to my throat,” said Brown. “If I was white and the media was really the media and the police really did their job…See they expect us to talk like that…I’m not even going to play games talking about a cat like that. He’s definitely what’s wrong with our community, because he’s a coward. Because he knows there won’t be any ramifications for talking like that. Do you think Gilbert Arenas would say that about J.J. Redick?” -via YouTube / January 17, 2023

How risky is this deal? Ishbia: I think there is no risk. I don’t look at it as a risk at all. I look at it as a vision and a decision. And you go with your decisions and you run with it. It doesn’t mean everything’s going to work out or that we’re going to win multiple championships and you know it was right. You have to play the games. -via Sports Illustrated / February 21, 2023
