As the Suns go through a hard season, Bradley Beal’s absence is crucial. The dream team of Beal, Durant, and Booker has been having trouble working well together because of the player’s injury. In the podcast, Jeff Teague talked about Durant’s noticeable anger. He said, “KD is talking about being frustrated; he shouldn’t be complaining, though. As for Beal being out, I say he has a right to be upset.”

The need for a reliable playmaker becomes glaring, and Teague’s plea for a seasoned point guard gains resonance in the face of mounting disappointments.
