Nash Gong, Penbden, Durant refused to return to the Warriors because of conflicts with the general

The 36-year-old striker was attending a symposium in New York after news of Durant being traded to the Houston Rockets. Durant, dressed in an all-black suit, slumped in a chair, leaning back, a nervous smile appeared on his face, and when asked what he thought of the deal, he gave a prepared answer.

"Brother, let's take a look," Durant sorted out his thoughts, "Let's take a look." This deal is undoubtedly another turning point in his career for Durant. He looks quite suitable for the Rockets' young lineup, but there are still questions about whether he can achieve ideal results. Recently, TheRinger reporter Murdoch proposed that if Durant wants to lead the Rockets to the sky, he must handle the relationship with his coach. The quarrel between

and the coach seemed to have been running through Durant's career. Murdoch said in the article that the reason why Durant left Golden State was not so much a quarrel with Green, but rather a conflict with him and Cole. In his final season with the Warriors, Durant had repeatedly complained about Cole's offensive principles publicly and privately, even after he switched to the Brooklyn Nets. The two later settled, but league sources believe Cole was one of the reasons Durant chose not to return to the Golden State Warriors by the trade deadline. In fact, as early as when Bay Area reporter Strauss wrote the Warriors' biography, Durant's dissatisfaction with Cole's coaching philosophy.

After coming to Brooklyn, Durant also made similar criticisms of Nash's ideas, which directly led to Nash's departure. Last season, the camera also captured Durant's quarrel with Suns coach Budenholzer. Murdoch also said Durant would urge Budenholzer to simplify his offense, yell at him when the ball switches, or hide in the corner without him in the offense in protest.

According to Murdoch's report, Durant and Rockets head coach Uduka have maintained a long-term and good relationship. This relationship can be traced back to the early days when Durant played for the American men's basketball team. After Nash was fired on the eve of the 2022-23 season, the Brooklyn Nets are looking for a new coach, and Durant urges the Nets to hire Uduka. However, because Uduka, who was fired by the Celtics at the time, was deeply trapped in a public opinion crisis caused by misconduct, the Nets gave up this idea.

Durant has always held his destiny firmly in his hands for the past decade, but his decisions have made him lose the stage to show his talent. Now, Durant has won a life raft, that is, the Houston Rockets, a team that has a real chance to compete for the championship.
