Rumors have flooded social media regarding the status of Phoenix Suns Kevin Durant. The 15-time All-Star is all but confirmed to be traded this summer, the detitanation is unknown, leading to fans theorizing on Durant’s next team. A fan responded to Evan Sidey’s post on X explaining ESPN’s Shams Charania report that Durant and the San Antonio Spurs have mutual interest.

The fan questioned the former MVP’s legacy, who is likely to be on his fifth different franchise in his career. Durant would swiftly respond.

Durant’s response on X:

Like I always say! Make your own rules up and curate this nba fantasy world the way u want. Enjoy that top 15 list

Durant didn’t take to the criticism kindly, responding within 90 minutes. The 36-year-old’s resume speaks for itself, a former MVP that is a two-time champion and two-time NBA Finals MVP. He is likely one of the greatest scoring forwards of all time. However, his decision back in 2016 to join the Golden State Warriors continue to haunt fans and him on X to question his legacy.

Regardless of the validity of the fan’s post or Durant’s response, replying to a fan questioning your legacy while in trade rumors has to have Suns fans putting their face in their hands.

It is hard to look at Durant’s time in the Valley as anything but a failure, one playoff series win and zero playoff wins in the past two seasons. The haul for the eventually Durant trade will make or break the franchise’s future as it currently has limited draft picks and cap space to make any moves to improve the roster.
