Beal, Booker, and Durant: You Can?t Guard Them All

There?s no doubt that Kevin Durant showed everybody that Phoenix is his city, and ?36 Unbothered?, along with Beal, has a long way to go. In a recent media interaction after Tuesday?s practice, Kevin Durant, dressed up in a white hoodie, made an indication of the long-foreseen partnership between the Big 3.

Kevin said: ?You can’t guard all of us at once.? He continued to answer a question, further adding: ?The coach is honest about being aggressive.? With these statements in mind, it?s obvious that Frank Vogel is aiming for an aggressive offensive strategy this season.?

Kevin Durant: Jumping From One Trio Last Season to a New One

With the recurrent hamstring injuries faced by Harden and then the request to be traded, all happened in a jiffy. In just a few months, the Nets also traded the left-over parts of the trio. Although Kevin couldn?t team up with Harden last season, he is planning to build a solid partnership with Devin Booker and Bradley Beal on his side.

When asked about the lineup, head coach Frank Vogel isn?t sure about that part. With a match approaching Thursday, Beal should also find some time on the court. Kevin Durant and Booker have played three of the four preseason games, while Beal has stepped foot on the hardwood just twice.
