The Phoenix Suns are acquiring 13-time NBA All-Star Kevin Durant in a blockbuster trade with the Brooklyn Nets, sources told ESPN’s, Adrian Wojnarowski.
Phoenix is sending Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first-round picks and a 2028 pick swap to Brooklyn, according to sources. The picks, in 2023, 2025, 2027, and 2029, are unprotected.
The Suns are also getting forward T.J. Warren in the trade, sources said.
Durant wanted the move and new Suns majority owner Mat Ishbia pushed to get a deal done ahead of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline.
After the Nets traded Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks over the weekend, Durant reportedly met with Brooklyn’s front office to discuss “the direction of the franchise and its ability to be a championship contender.” Apparently, those conversations were not fruitful.
