Durant and Kyrie are both great players especially Durant but if they will not allow Kyrie to play, then there is no chance that they will become the top contender for the playoffs. Durant can't carry the whole team to be honest, he needs Kyrie to win a championship like what LeBron needs to win.
The problem with Kyrie getting the second most shots is that he won't be able to play in most games when the playoffs come. I mean New York maybe did get the mandate ended? I am not sure and even in that case he is still not playing because of the private place rules, he literally got some fine for being in the locker room let alone play last New York game right? All in all we are talking about a big deal for him to miss games during playoffs.
Durant and Kyrie could be great, only if Kyrie gets the vax and plays all games, if not then Durant won't be able to carry his team if he keeps being alone and no superstars around him helping him out.
