Because they currently have a 14-15 record and the 11th spot in the Western Conference, people are talking about the Phoenix Suns.
Many are saying that something needs to change because this is a team that should be doing much better.
But former NBA player Terrence Ross shocked everyone when he criticized Kevin Durant and his impact on the team.
According to Booker Muse via NBACentral, when Brandon Jennings suggested that Durant should leave the Suns because they are “cursed” and he doesn’t deserve that, Ross responded, “Dawg they was doing fine before they traded for him. What’s the problem?”

Countless NBA fans are wondering why the Suns are having so many problems now that Durant is on board.
When he was signed to the team last season, it seemed like he would be their ticket to the Finals.
Instead, the team has struggled, but it’s not entirely Durant’s fault.
The 13-time All-Star is averaging 30.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.5 assists so far this season and is shooting a strong 51.8% from the field.
Those are very good numbers, and yet Phoenix is still floundering.
Of course, the Suns have been repeatedly knocked down by bad injuries to a couple of key players, notably Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.
Because of this, the big three of Durant, Booker, and Beal have only played in one game together.
That is definitely a major part of why the team isn’t performing as fans had hoped.
There have been reports of Durant feeling frustrated by the state of his team and there are even some who suggest that maybe he will ask to leave if things don’t get better.
Whether they are cursed or not, most people – including team members – are unhappy with where the Suns are right now.
