The Wandering Thunder Third Young Master: Durant wins the championship with the enemy, Harden and Westbrook are traded seven times without a championship

As the new Thunder Third Young Master once again led the team to the NBA Finals

People's youth memories were awakened. The last time the Thunder entered the Finals, it was also the Thunder Third Young Master

, but that Thunder has been a long time, and it has been 13 years ago

At that time, the Thunder Third Young Master was also very young, very energetic, and also full of energy

They fought a bloody road in the Wild West. The young Thunder became a challenger for the first time, but facing the Heat led by James, the young Thunder did not fight back, and the finals ended in five games. The Thunder ended with The Thunder, with a promising and talented 1-4 defeat, fell apart after the 12-year Finals. Harden was dissatisfied with the contract renewal in the offseason, and left the Houston Rockets. Only the second young master was left. Durant and Westbrook had no Harden. Under the leadership of Durant and Westbrook, the Thunder still had certain breakthrough ability in the West. However, the NBA environment that year, especially the competition in the West was too fierce. All teams were pursuing the team building model of the Big Three. The two elders of Thunder Xuanming were still one game away.}

After the Thunder insisted on three more seasons, in 2016, the Thunder, who thought that the match point of 3-1, would re-enter the finals

, Klay Thompson contributed a miraculous performance, G611 three-pointers, pulled the Warriors out of hell

, and instead threw the Thunder from heaven to hell. After the game, the Warriors boss knelt on the ground and worshiped him, and you can know how valuable Clay's 11 three-pointers helped the Warriors change their fate against the sky

If it was the 12-year finals that the Thunder three young masters were disbanded, then the 16-year Western Conference Finals were reversed by the Warriors 1-3, which would break up the Thunder

}

Durant, who led the Thunder to ruin a good situation, resolutely chose to join the Warriors that offseason, and his team's front foot had just been shockingly reversed by the Warriors

Durant's betrayal of the enemy is rare in the entire NBA history. However, as a ball-lovers Durant ignored the rumors and the insults and resentment of the Thunder fans. What he wanted was very simple. He entered the finals and won the FMVP

and almost won the FMVP

, and he almost won three consecutive championships and three consecutive FMVPs. At the moment Durant joined the Warriors, the NBA really ushered in the finale. Who can beat the offensive craze of the Warriors?

If we look at it now, Durant's most ruthless operation was the most rational choice for his own career, filling his championship honors, and the outside world's infamy is false. Until now, when the new generation of Thunder Third Young Master led the Thunder to the finals, Thunder fans have not let Durant go, and his personal social media mocking Durant's keyboard warrior skills have not deteriorated. He talked to American netizens, but in any case, the act of surrendering to the enemy is a "stain" that Durant will be said by fans for the rest of his life. So what if there is a stain? If it weren't for the injury, the Warriors would have achieved a three-game winning streak in 2019, but they were defeated in the end. Durant's forced return from injury made his career end with the Warriors

Now it seems that the old version of the Thunder's third young master was suffering from the end of his career. Durant had a championship at least. Westbrook, who held one person and one city in the Thunder, had no championship yet, and Harden, who became an MVP in the Rockets, had no championship. From the current perspective, it is probably difficult for these two brothers to get a team to compete for the championship, unless they are looking for a team to support the championship, and they are still in the championship. 1} After these three people came out of the Thunder, they were all a bit wandering. Harden, the first one, became the absolute core of the Rockets, but he had no hope of competing for the championship for many years. Then a heavyweight trade occurred. Harden went to the Nets from the Rockets, and formed the Big Three with Irving and Durant. The Nets were the most exaggerated, but they were still injured. If there were no injuries back then, perhaps Harden would have won the championship long ago. No one could stop the Nets in that year except for injuries. However, after the Nets had no hope of competing for the championship, the team The off-court news was messy again. Harden chose to go to the 76ers when he looked at the Nets' mess. He thought that Embiid could run out of the East, but Embiid was useless. Finally, he went to the Clippers to join forces with Xiao Ka. Over the years, the Clippers' strength has been quite strong, but they are always a little bit worse. Either it was Xiao Ka's injury or other players' crossover, and Harden's own playoffs. The Clippers' paper strength is indeed strong

, but when it comes to the moment of realizing the truth, the Clippers will always lose. This season's Clippers are in a well-equipped position. Under the circumstances, Harden's thrust is the same thing, but the team's strength seems to have come to an end

The main reason for Harden to leave the Rockets was to compete for the championship. Harden sacrificed a lot of money for the championship, his shooting rights and health. More importantly, he won 100 million US dollars less in his career

If the Clippers don't see hope, he should leave decisively. Harden's performance this season can be said to have brought a 180-degree reversal to the reputation of a sharp turnaround in the past two years, making the team that was not accepted or optimistic about Harden re-examined this ball-holding core.

Harden can still average 20+10 per game, and at the same time can contribute good defensive efficiency, which Harden did not have before. At the same time, Harden's strong bottoming ability and team-leading ability as always are needed by some teams that are determined to compete for the championship. If Harden does not require a maximum salary contract, there will be many teams who will rush to scramble. In Durant, from the Warriors to the Nets to the Suns, the Warriors' career afterwards has been quite bad. Especially the Nets could have cleared the stain that they could only hold their thighs, but in the end it was hard to escape the tricks of fate. After the Suns, this team that originally entered the finals' championship seemed to be getting worse and worse after Adu came, and the team's transfer signings were also a bunch. Now Durant's career with the Suns is coming to an end. The Suns are expected to send Durant away after this year's draft. With the determination of the new Suns coach, the Suns are now starting to adjust the team's offseason lineup. The Suns will cooperate with All-Star forward Durant and Durant's agent, & Business Partner, &Boardroom CEO Rich Kleiman, to find a new next home for Durant

, and famous reporter Shams also revealed the news that Durant is about to leave the team

"Discussions on Durant's trading will begin now and will start to heat up in the next 2-3 weeks. The Suns will cooperate with Durant's agent, & Business Partner, &Boardroom CEO Rich Kleiman, to find a new next home for Durant.

Durant's trading market is still hot, and 4-6 teams are expected to pursue it. From now on Before the draft, these teams will have serious negotiations with the Suns on the Durant deal. "

Although they have experienced major injuries, the 36-year-old Durant is still very popular. He is already one of the best scorers in the league today. According to NBA industry insiders, this offseason, Durant is expected to have a strong market this year, and about 4 to 6 teams will have a strong interest in trading.

The 2024-25 season, Durant, 36-year-old, played 62 regular season games for the Suns, and averaged 36.5 minutes per game to score 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks. The three shooting percentages are 52.7%, 43.0% and 83.9% respectively.

Adu's contract is actually no longer important. His basketball skills, his fans, his box office appeal, and the attention he brought to the team from the whole world are all the top five in the league. As long as there is a chance, any team will consider

Compared with these two people, Westbrook's career seems even more displaced. From the Thunder's persistence in one person and one city to the constant wandering now, what has Westbrook gained? Is it the lone hero of the triple-double king of the Oshi City? Or is it an MVP that won a triple-double history for two consecutive seasons?

No one will remember, and he will only mock him as a homeless vagabond without a championship, or a locker room cancer that destroys the team. He went from the Thunder to the Rockets joining forces with Harden, and then to the Wizards' final peak. After arriving at the Lakers, Westbrook's reputation began to fall sharply, and his competitive level also plummeted

Although he went to the Clippers and the Nuggets again, during this offseason transfer, it is estimated that Westbrook will find it difficult to keep the Nuggets. To be more cruel, Westbrook has transferred 7 times: Rockets, Wizards, Lakers, Jazz, Clippers, Jazz, and Nuggets. After all, the Jazz are the party who was traded twice, and they went to other teams after buying out.

During this offseason, the third young Thunder are at the intersection of their careers. If Westbrook jumps out of the contract, he may leave again. Durant also has the possibility of changing teams, and even Harden may leave. He just goes around in circles. More than ten years have passed. Under the leadership of Alexander, the Thunder has risen and revived strongly. One cannot beat it and joined, and he also won the championship; one is going around for the championship, but he is still chasing the road; the other is the decline in competitive state and is displaced.

This is the youth of fans watching football. They have brought us infinite basketball happiness. I hope each of them will be well and have a happy ending.
