“Belief in Suns locker room was that the roster was rough, but many are optimistic like Kevin Durant who I’m told is excited for team’s future loves it out there [and] excited to build there.”
While Durant has yet to address the Suns’ decision, it seems that he is willing to buy into the team’s plans moving forward. However, many fans were dismayed by the sacking of Williams, with some believing that he was unfairly used as a scapegoat for the team’s issues. Injuries and a lack of depth were cited as factors in the team’s postseason failure.

Now, with Williams out of the picture, the Suns must find a replacement who can not only match his regular season success but also lead the team to a championship. This is no easy task, and it remains to be seen who will fill Williams’ shoes.
Overall, while Williams’ dismissal was met with disappointment from some fans, Durant’s apparent acceptance of the decision is a positive sign for the Suns’ future. The team must now focus on finding a new head coach who can help them reach their ultimate goal of winning a championship.
