the main problem is they have no offense, they would clearly be way worse.

KD Rockets: 45-29 Brooks Rockets: 52-30
KD Suns: 36-46 Brooks Suns: 41-33
The teams with KD on them have a worse record than the teams with Brooks.

you’re missing other factors like not having FVV all season.

No, I just don’t think Fred is that much better than Reed Shepherd. It’s not like Fred is Luka or something. We’ve never seen FVV and Durant play together though, so I might be way off here. It might also be a coaching issue. That also doesn’t explain why the Suns are better this season.
What I’m asking though, is Kevin Durant just a toxic player? Every team he’s on turns to shit at some point, when is it just Durant that’s the problem. On the other hand, every team with Brooks on it seems to have great chemistry. It’s a lot easier to play good team basketball when you actually like your team.

KD was far from the biggest problem with that Suns team. They also had no PG. They had no Center. They changed coaches every season. They were paying Beal $60m. They had no assets to fill out the team around the big 3. They were over the 2nd tax apron that limited them even more.
