PHOENIX – The Phoenix Suns and its players have been berated with countless headlines throughout the past month. Media reports of a “toxic” locker room, guard Bradley Beal possibly being shipped off at the deadline, and even a reality that saw Kevin Durant traded back to Golden State or Memphis. The NBA trade deadline saw First-Team All-NBA players, multiple All-Stars, and more traded in some league-shifting deals.

During these hectic two weeks, Durant kept quiet through all the noise regarding the Suns’ turbulence and other big moves. However, the 15-time All-Star could not stay silent after seeing this tweet from Kendrick Perkins.
I know this may be a reach but this comment is by far the craziest shit I’ve seen this week https://t.co/kNbncZhIUH

The comment by Perkins left Durant perplexed by the audacity of the ESPN analyst. For reference, Perkins played for the Thunder from 2011-2015, where he averaged 4.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and shot 46.2% from the field during his tenure. It’s easy to say that Durant calling Perkins’ quote the craziest thing he’s seen this week might not be that far off.
