After increasing disappointment with the Brooklyn Nets' team-building efforts throughout the previous season due to alleged broken promises, Durant reportedly wanted to leave the team via trade. That bothers Barkley, who refers to KD as "Mr Miserable" and claims that older people don't respect him since he has never led a successful team. KD is a two-time Finals MVP.
One of the best players of his generation, Durant could only be surpassed by LeBron James and Stephen Curry. Nowadays, standards are changing as the players move about. Players may control their power while upholding their contracts, as LeBron has shown with his several movements. Given that KD has four years left on his deal with the Nets, his request for trade seems absurd. Barkley may have been overly critical of KD, but he merely expressed what many people have been thinking.
