Jordan Ott's coaching shows how Suns failed during Kevin Durant era

Phoenix Suns fans didn’t get an opportunity to see Kevin Durant return to the Valley after a blockbuster trade sending him to the Houston Rockets this past summer.

KD missed the Nov. 24 game against the Suns due to a personal family matter. The next opportunity for Suns fans to welcome Durant back won’t be until April 7 at Mortgage Matchup Center.

In any case, after the two parties parted ways, it should be clear to the fan base that the Suns organization bungled the Kevin Durant era.

Whether or not fans defend the trade to acquire Durant — which sent “The Twins” Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson along with a plethora of first-round draft picks to Brooklyn — the events that occurred after show that Phoenix failed the future first-ballot Hall of Famer when he was wearing Purple and Orange.
