00:00So KD did a sit down with Malika Andrews, ESPN, and he was asked about the whole
00:12warriors, not wanting to go back there situation.
00:17And Steve current said, well, I can understand.
00:19He took a lot of bleep for coming to the warriors.
00:21He didn't want to go through that again.
00:23Kevin Durant, he debunks that.
00:25He says, that wasn't the reason I didn't want to get traded.
00:27Here was KD on ESPN.
00:30That's not the reason why I didn't want to come back.
00:31I just didn't want to get traded in that way through the season.
00:35There was nothing against my time with the warriors or I heard it because I
00:40don't like Drayvon at the end of the day.
00:41I just didn't want to move.
00:42And I think I want, and I wanted to see it through with my team in Phoenix and
00:45see what we can do the rest of the season.
00:47So I'm glad I'm still there.
00:49Minus one.
00:54Are you basically saying he's lying too?
00:56Yeah, I don't buy it.
00:57Is there anybody telling the truth?
01:00Yo bitch, dude.
01:02Yo, which always tells the truth.
01:03He never lies to us.
01:05He never lies to us.
01:07He never lies.
01:08Not a, not a shot.
01:10Um, yeah.
01:13All right.
01:13Then this was him on the potential of this upcoming summer and the drama that
01:18they may be with, uh, with his future.
01:21Here's what he had to say to that.
01:23How does the second half of the season shape your outlook for even beyond this
01:27year and moving mid season is one thing moving in the summer is maybe something
01:31else.
01:32You got to ask front office about that.
01:36I mean, I never planned on leaving and moving, you know, getting traded.
01:40I didn't ask for a trade from Phoenix, but obviously when we pay so much for a
01:44team and we're not playing up to our expectation, somebody has to go, you know?
01:49So, you know, pressure to check in with those guys in the front office throughout
01:54the rest of the season and see how they feel about the team.
01:56I know that I'm going to keep bringing, trying to bring my best every single day.
01:59And I let the higher I was focused on was what's next.
02:05Yeah, he's gone too bad.
02:06I mean, if, if you want to talk, if, if rats off a ship could be a sound, it would
02:11sound like that, which to be fair, they were rats off a ship first.
02:17Who the, uh, the sons, the sons.
02:19Correct.
02:20Correct.
02:20Correct.
02:21They were rats off a ship first.
02:22So I don't, uh, I don't know, but it's,
02:26uh, but yeah, man, that's, uh, that, that to me was, uh, was pretty crazy.
02:30Pretty crazy from that standpoint.
02:32I don't know, man.
02:32What do you think?
02:34You think he's out there?
02:35You do think, yeah, absolutely.
02:37He's the only one that could be traded.
02:39Right.
02:40I mean, they could trade Devin Booker.
02:42They just won't.
02:42Right.
02:43Right.
02:44Unless Devin Booker is just like, see ya.
02:47I'm out of here, dude.
02:49I think it has nothing to do with that.
02:50It has more to do with like, everybody's looking at Bradley Beal and like,
02:56he's the one that has no trade clause.
03:03But honestly, again, everybody should look at this agent
03:05and be like, that's a good agent.
03:08I like what, but here, can you be a good agent when you're
03:13dealing with a poor organization?
03:16I think that's when the best, the best agents foist a bad
03:18organization, do they not?
03:20I guess I saw that the SGA cut his agent out.
03:24He, uh, he said, which basketball players don't really need an agent for
03:28basketball.
03:29Yeah.
03:29You probably don't.
03:30Right.
03:30Why would you give somebody however many percent for like, yeah, I'll take the
03:37max and you're paying them for that.
03:39Now it's the other stuff.
03:43You know what I mean?
03:45SGA is like, you're gonna give me 300 million.
03:48They're not going to give me 300 million.
03:50Yeah, that's pretty simple.
03:52He goes, I guess.
03:53Uh, I guess we've got to give him the 300 million.
03:55Oh no.
03:57Boom.
03:58Negotiate boom, boom.
04:00Finished.
04:00Max.
04:03I would find my agent too.
04:04Do you think the agent is thinking to himself?
04:05He's like, Oh, he's onto us.
04:08Oh, no, he's onto us.
04:11How did he know that?
04:12How did he know to play this?
04:13Wait, wait, SGA.
04:16I got new balance on the line.
04:19So I was every time I was, uh, when I live, he doesn't have new balance.
04:22Does he?
04:23I don't know who he is.
04:24Who does he have Converse?
04:25I think he has Converse.
04:27I think he brought back Converse, which is also Nike.
04:31Is it Nike?
04:32Is that who owns it?
04:32Yeah.
04:34I mean, I got into this, this argument with my daughter the other day.
04:37She swears that her generation did Converse.
04:39I'm like, are you high as a kite?
04:41What?
04:43You know what?
04:45Claiming everything.
04:46Tell her, tell her then.
04:48You don't know nothing about them Chuck Taylors.
04:50I said, go, I said, go Google that, that.
04:53Just, just do it.
04:54Do a search.
04:56These kids, these kids today.
04:58I didn't realize why that's just, hold on.
05:01That's just the beginning of the arguments.
05:04This is why I got to hit her with Jen alpha language.
05:06Just to just, just to drive her nutty.
05:08Did you use a mewing yesterday?
05:10Sure did.
05:10Oh, have you guys seen it with the old dude and daughters?
05:17Yeah.
05:17It's a, that's a flex.
05:19That's a flex.
05:20Boomer alert.
