Durant was frustrated that the championship window was closed and there were no trade chips

Suns star Durant recently expressed his concern about the team's lineup and frustration with the lack of helpers in an interview with ESPN. Woshen pointed out that on the show, Durant's frustration also infected the players of the entire Suns team. Durant's frustration stems from the team's lack of support and a problematic lineup.

He was anxious about the situation of the team, which sacrificed a lot to get Beal, but couldn't make reinforcements because they had neither trade chips nor draft picks. The Suns have a short window of chance to win the championship, and they must strive for success and progress as soon as possible.

In addition, Beal has been plagued by injuries, and after returning from injury, he played only 2 games before being injured again, resulting in the Suns' big three only playing together in 2 games so far. The Suns have lost eight of their last 11 games, and their record has dropped as a result, with a 14-14 record before the year-end game begins, ranking 11th in the West, and even falling out of the play-in zone.

Previously, Gordon had publicly complained about the lack of possession and wanted to take on a bigger role. Now, Woshen broke the news that Durant is also frustrated with the team. From the Nets' Big Three to the Suns' Big Three, the Suns have often turned into Durant's one-on-one tactics, and injuries have affected them too much. Last season, Durant teamed up with Booker, Ayton and Paul to form the Big Four, but was eliminated by the Nuggets in the second round of the playoffs.

This summer, the Suns have aggressively rebuilt their teams around Durant and Booker, but the results have fallen far short of expectations. So far, Durant has played in 24 games for the Suns, averaging 309 points 62 rebounds 54 assists 11 block, shooting 521%, and the three-point shooting percentage reached 473%。
