The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to trade 13-time All-Star Kevin Durant and to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Cam Johnson Jae Crowder, four first-round picks and a 2028 pick swap, according to multiple reports. TJ Warren will also head to the Suns as part of the trade.
Durant named the Suns as his desired destination when he first requested a trade in June 2022, however, the Nets held onto both him and Kyrie Irving with the hope that they could contend in the 2022-23 campaign. While the Nets are 32-22 and fifth in the Eastern Conference, the departure of Irving all but signaled the end of their championship pursuit.
Durant, 34, averaged 29.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game in 39 appearances for the Nets. He signed a four-year, $198 million extension with the Nets in 2021.
