Durant repeatedly complained each publicly and privately about Kerr’s offensive rules throughout his last season with the Warriors, and he continued to take action even after he left for Brooklyn. The 2 have since reconciled, however league sources identify Kerr as among the reasons Durant opted not to return to Golden State at the trade deadline. In Gotham, Durant had comparable critiques of Nash’s ideas, and the coach was later fired throughout Durant’s final season. And this previous season, cameras routinely caught him in verbal spars with Suns coach Mike Budenholzer, urging him to simplify the offense, yelling at him throughout possession modifications, or pouting within the nook in protest because the offense flowed with out him. -via The Ringer / June 24, 2025
