The Phoenix Suns have seen some big changes in their roster this offseason. The team traded away their veteran star point guard Chris Paul to get Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards. Apart from that, the team also managed to sign Bol Bol who was recently waived by the Orlando Magic. Given the newly found diversity in the Suns’ locker room, star forward Kevin Durant recently claimed he had to fight his teammates so that he could play music by this $250 million worth rapper.
The 13-time All-Star confessed that he was sick of listening to music by artists like Lil Durk, Lil Baby, and NBA YoungBoy to name a few. He claimed that he had to fight his teammates to listen to a track by Drake.

The Phoenix Suns suffered a disappointing loss to this year?s NBA champions, the Denver Nuggets. And as soon as the offseason started, the team?s front office started making some big changes for the upcoming season.
The Suns’ front office went on fire Monty Williams who could be credited for putting Phoenix back on the map after a decade. This was followed by a blockbuster Chris Paul trade and some more offseason moves.
And while some big names were facing music for their performances, Kevin Durrant was fighting for his own tunes in the locker room.

?I gotta fight for a Drake song to be played, or a Kendrick song,? Durant said.
Given how the Suns roster is relatively young, players would prefer listening to new-age rappers that just arrived on the scene.
However, Durant being 34 prefers listening to music by rappers who have solidified their name in the rap game over time.

The new Phoenix Suns team
It could be said that the Phoenix Suns are the team that made the biggest splash in this NBA offseason. The team traded away one of the best point guards to ever play the game in return for a proven scorer in Bradley Beal.
Not only that but the Suns also signed the 7?2 forward and center hybrid, Bol Bol. The new Phoenix Suns lineup would look something like Bradley Beal at the point, and Devin Booker at the two. This would be followed by Kevin Durant in the small forward position.
