When I saw Durant displaced, I realized that James is the real panacea star

Although this year's NBA Finals are pretty good, as well as Alexander, the new MVP, and the magical Halliburton, you must admit that this year's NBA Finals are really low. Although the relevant ratings have not yet been released, judging from the number of online discussions, there should not be many people following them. To give an example that may make the NBA management extremely embarrassing. The total attention and discussions received in the Thunder vs. Pacers' Finals seem to be less than the drama "Where Are You Going Durant". Almost since last week, discussions about Durant's next home have always dominated the headlines. On the one hand, this once again proves that Durant is still one of the most popular and topical stars in the league. On the other hand, it also shows that the new generation of NBA stars are really not able to gain popularity.

Speaking of Durant, it is almost certain that Durant will leave the Suns this summer. According to American journalist John Gambadoro, Durant is expected to be traded by the Suns as early as next week. Currently, Suns and Durant agent Rich Kleiman is screening potential trading options, and the teams interested mainly include the Spurs, Rockets, Timberwolves, Heat, Knicks, etc. Previously, Shams reported that Durant and his team were discussing the possibility of trading with multiple teams, and the relevant negotiations are expected to accelerate before the NBA draft. If Durant is really traded in the end, it will be his third time in the past six years and the fifth team he has joined in his career. Looking at NBA history, it is difficult to find a second superstar who is at the level of Durant but is frequently traded and switched teams. In terms of results, Durant's frequent team changes have caused considerable damage to his reputation.

Recently, Durant was passionately swearing on his social media, fighting with netizens. Some fans mocked him for changing teams again. He could not win the championship after leaving Curry. He was relied on Curry to win the championship. Durant responded repeatedly, but Durant's repeated responses attracted more sieges from netizens. Some said that Durant had his true nature, and some said that Durant just broke the defense. No one knows what Durant is thinking, but one thing must be admitted is that Durant has changed teams frequently over the years and has not achieved the results he wants, and almost every time he leaves the team, it is very ugly. In fact, there is no problem with NBA stars changing teams. As for work, it is correct to replace the next family if they are not happy. As long as they can win the championship and achieve results, they will naturally be able to hold on. But Durant’s problem is that he has not achieved good results anywhere. In order to satisfy him, the Nets and the Suns made trade reinforcements around him, but they did not even touch the floor in the finals.

Then the question is, Durant is the kind of plug-and-play superstar. It can be seamlessly connected to any team and is compatible with any star, but why is it not possible to give him Irving and Harden, and Booker and Bill? On the one hand, the major injury in 2019 did have an impact on Durant, and it is difficult for him to return to the level of the MVP level at the beginning. On the other hand, Durant's shooting has caused people to misunderstand. In fact, Durant is not the kind of plug-and-play panacea star at all. At least he is not at all. He has frequently changed teams over the years, and in fact he wants to prove that he can make a difference in any team, but he did not succeed, but he has a bit of a displaced smell.

To put it bluntly, Durant's style of play is still single. It is not appropriate to say that he can only play singles. He is actually quite comprehensive. But the problem is that it is actually difficult for Durant to change his style of play for the team and his teammates. He can only accommodate him in the team. His strength at his peak is indeed qualified to allow the team to accommodate him. However, after his strength declines, Durant still cannot change his style of play, which makes the requirements for winning the championship higher and higher. In fact, I think there are few teams suitable for Durant in the connection stage. To partner with Edwards in the Timberwolves, there is no difference between partnering with Booker in the Suns. Can he be willing to be a deputy or an anti-aircraft turret if he goes to the Spurs to partner with Wenban Yama, or his Rockets? Even if Durant is willing, can he really complete the transformation with his style of play?

This is why when I see Durant's current situation, I feel that James is really strong, and I will talk about why James is the real panacea star. If you put him on any team, he can quickly adjust his playing style and be compatible with his teammates. He and Wade were obviously not very good at the Heat in the early stage. Later, both of them sacrificed their own compatible skills. Wade sacrificed part of the ball rights, James chose to gain weight and change his position and play style, and the Heat successfully won the championship. After returning to the Cavaliers, because of Irving's assassin attributes, James gradually transferred more possession to Irving, increasing his own off-ball play style, and the Cavaliers later successfully won the championship.

After coming to the Lakers and partnering with the later Thomas Brows, James changed his style again and began to play point guards. His style of play focused more on the forwards who were suitable for Thomas Brows. In that season, not only did he win the assists champion, but he also helped the Lakers win the championship. Try to think about it, what kind of playing style would James be if he replaced with Durant, Durant, Wade, Irving, and Thick Eyebrow partnered? Can you think of singles and shooting? So, this may be where Durant is not as good as James. He can adjust his playing style in any environment and ultimately achieve the most favorable result for the team. This is why in the later stages of his career, James can stay in the Lakers very steadily, because whether he is partnering with Davis or Doncic, James can find the most suitable position and playing style. But if Durant cannot change himself, then he can only be the team. I just hope that this time, Durant can go to a team that is truly suitable for him.
