Is Kevin Durant the Problem? Suns Star Now Part of Multiple Failed Big Threes

Kevin Durant is unquestionably one of the greatest players in the history of the NBA. He has shown that he is one of the best scorers to ever play the game.

The combination of size and skill that he possesses is truly rare. Not many players almost seven feet tall can handle the ball the way he can and create his own shot.

Durant has been playing at a high level since being the second overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft by the Seattle Supersonics. He played in Seattle for just a year before the team moved to Oklahoma City.

Durant has been part of his share of big threes on rosters. That started back with Oklahoma City when he paired with Russell Westbrook and James Harden.

He did not win a title with that team, although he did make the NBA Finals. He recreated a big three with Harden in Brooklyn along with Kyrie Irving, and that ended in disaster.

That Brooklyn team blew up and never made it out of the first round of the playoffs. Now, he's with the Phoenix Suns, and things are the worst they've ever been.

The Suns have now lost eight straight games and have been eliminated from the playoffs. It's yet another team that has failed with a big three involving Durant, this time with Devin Booker and Bradley Beal teaming up with him.

It's time to ask a very important question: Is Kevin Durant the problem?

He has won two titles, but both of those were with the Golden State Warriors.

Those Warriors teams had Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green on the roster, and they had won titles before Durant showed up.

Durant has been a great scorer over the course of his career, but he hasn't been able to lead his team to the promised land. His mood seems to change every 18 months, which has clearly led to bad team chemistry.

There's a reason why Durant has played for four different teams in his career. For some reason, he can't seem to be happy anywhere.

There is a very good chance that Durant could be on the move again this offseason. The Suns might be looking to reset their roster around Booker.

This season, Durant has averaged 26.6 points, six rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game.
