Durant had issues with Draymond Green during the 2019 season. This was the Warriors’ first season to not win the title with KD on the roster.
Kevin Durant got injured during the 2019 NBA Finals, which is why the Warriors lost. KD’s injury sidelined him during the 2020 season, which became complicated by the pandemic. Last season, the Nets seemingly got it together. Early in the season, the Nets traded for James Harden. The Harden trade made the Nets an unstoppable force. However, injuries prevented the Nets from building consistency, so the “Big 3” rarely played together. Giannis’ Bucks took full advantage in 2021.
