This all appears to be great, but of course, the move has led to a bunch of criticism. Durant is being dragged all over social media for joining yet another powerhouse team, as fans believe KD wants to join every good team he can.

Of course, that narrative is ridiculous as Durant couldn’t help that he was traded, nor where he was traded to. As for Durant, he appears to be focused on next season.

Durant posted a fiery message on Instagram, showcasing his competitive spirit.

Durant is ready for a redemption year. Despite playing good basketball this past year, 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game, the Suns failed to reach the postseason.

Durant doesn’t play for stats, however. He plays to win and he’ll have a great chance at achieving that come next season in Houston.
