And now that he has joined the Suns, which has three of the top few players in the league in their positions, it will dent his greatness like never before. He had to satisfy themselves with just two rings and 2x Finals MVPs in three years there. And former 3-time All-Star believes it would be the biggest failure for the 13x All-Star if the Suns don’t win a Championship.

Kevin Durant wanted to join the Suns since last summer and eventually he was traded there just before the trade deadline.

Charles Barkley believes Kevin Durant's trade to the Phoenix Suns is an opportunity for him to shed one notable label.

If the Suns win the title, Barkley seems to believe that critics such as himself will not have anything left to hit Durant with. The comment irked Durant, who [issued multiple responses on social media](https://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/kevin-durant-charles-barkley-criticism/599263). He’s sensitive about it but he don’t get to change the narrative.”

Charles Barkley thinks Kevin Durant's trade to the Phoenix Suns is the perfect opportunity for the star to change an important narrative.

“Now when a player can kind of dictate where he wants to go and leave in free agency and demand a trade, it’s just part of the game now. They're not (the first team to use this play) but they're one of the ones that do it at a high level and it was in the Super Bowl. "The other alternative is when they start pushing you to find a way to get your helmet right where his knee is so when they are pushing him forward his knee is driving into your helmet. That doesn't change much in terms of it being a good deal for LA, but it is good to know. That's hard to buy into though after he got a chance to prove at the end of 2022 that he deserves to be at least a primary backup elsewhere. It is not the most savory but it's an effective way and that's why I think they'll change the rule first before they allow that because if I'm a DC that's the answer to it." Moats says that the Eagles are putting Hurts in a position to be injured. However, I do feel as if the jacket was disrespectful and it was something that I needed to share.

Multiple reports have said that the Nets traded Irving to Dallas because of their trade package of Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, and draft picks, but some have implied that Brooklyn wanted to inconvenience Irving similar to what the San Antonio Spurs did to Kawhi Leonard when they traded him to the Toronto Raptors instead of his preferred destination: one of the two teams that play in Los Angeles. Per Fischer, when Irving’s trade request became public, the Suns approached the Nets about trading for Irvinv soon thereafter. What ended up happening was that Brooklyn traded Irving to the Dallas Mavericks.
