🏀 Durant, Suns All-In On Title Chase

For Kevin Durant and the Suns, this season is now championship or bust.

Often in sports, we come across situation where only one outcome makes sense. You just can't imagine it happening any other way. The script feels written. In truth, the games we love and the situations that surround them rarely go exactly to plan, but that doesn't stop us from claiming with defiant certainty that such and such is about to occur, passionately defending our assertion. The new-look Phoenix Suns are not that. Despite adding Kevin Durant in an absolute whopper of a trade last week, we're not in the "one likely outcome" space here. Neither are we in the "anything can happen" kind of spot, and yes, sports does like to boil its plots down to snappy catchphrases. Sorry, not sorry. Here's another thing to keep in mind about Phoenix's fresh look: We are in the realm of "all or nothing." For how can we not be? Bringing in Durant and combining him with Paul and Booker should be a catapult towards a title run. On paper, they're absolutely good enough, and the Western Conference is presently struggling enough, to immediately become the West's most powerful force.

The Lakers’ desperately needed to bolster their depth and, between the Rui Hachimura deal and this one, they’ve done so.
