EP 62--Will The Kevin Durant Trade To PHX Work? - a podcast by Dexter

The Phoenix Suns have acquired forwards Kevin Durant and T.J. Warren from the Brooklyn Nets in a four-team trade with the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers. Brooklyn received forwards Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, multiple first-round picks (2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029) and a first-round pick swap in 2028 from Phoenix, as well as second-round picks from Milwaukee, in the exchange.

As part of the deal, veteran forward Jae Crowder heads to the Bucks, with Indiana also netting second-round picks while taking on players into its cap space.The 34-year-old Durant is still playing at an elite level, averaging nearly 30 points per game this season. Durant and the Suns were linked to trade rumors over the past summer, but nothing materialized until Wednesday.

The trade comes just hours after new Suns majority owner Mat Ishbia was introduced in Phoenix. The self-described basketball nut, who was a walk-on at Michigan State under Tom Izzo, didn’t waste any time shaking up the NBA.The move from Brooklyn to Phoenix was a collaborative one between Durant’s camp and the Nets. The move to the Suns was something both sides were interested in pursuing and he and the Nets left on good terms.
