The Phoenix Suns were finally forced to wave the white flag on their "Big 3" experiment this offseason, as they finally cut ties with both Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. Alongside Devin Booker - in the trio's two full seasons together - they never won a single playoff game. Getting to the second round prior to that was done with just Durant and Booker, plus Deandre Ayton and Chris Paul.
Change had to come, and the way to achieve this was always going to be ugly as well. The franchise stuck in the second apron until they bought out Beal, which was necessary but will hurt them in years to come.
