Chet Holmgren had a very accurate ‘NBA 2K23’ joke after the Suns traded for Kevin Durant

If you play NBA 2K23, it’s going to be really hard to not want to play as the Phoenix Suns. After all, they just got Kevin Durant!

Next time you power on your console and turn on NBA 2K23, you are going to be tempted. You will probably notice the starting lineup for Phoenix with KD and Chris Paul and Devin Booker. You may have even gotten a little bit excited just reading that.

Whenever a new superteam is assembled, it is always fun to give them a test run in the video game before they take the floor. It’s fine if you want to give it a try!

Just know that if you do this, Oklahoma City Thunder big man Chet Holmgren thinks that you are (*Taylor Swift voice*) “the problem” now:

Holmgren, of course, makes a fair point. When healthy, the Suns are probably the most stacked team in this game.

You’ve got an amazing floor general in CP3, you’ve got two of the easiest jump shots with Booker and Durant, and you’ve got a paint beast with Ayton.

I’d be a little underwhelmed by their bench depth, but after this trade, Phoenix is understandably going to be a popular choice for those who play NBA 2K.

But for those who make that choice: It’s you, hi, you’re the problem, it’s you.
