Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant has been a part of plenty of league-shattering moves. He left the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors. He then signed with the Brooklyn Nets after a few years. Then he asked for a trade to land with the Suns, who he currently represents.

Durant’s acknowledgement of the inequity between the loyalty expected from players and organizations echoed a similar point that had been made by Durant’s former head coach, Steve Kerr, who opened up about the realities of the trade deadline the night before Saturday’s massive trade.
