What a night, what a night! After the transfer of Russell Westbrook, it is now Kevin Durant who has just packed his bags for Phoenix. At the same time, the Nets star signs the end of the title project in Brooklyn, and causes an earthquake on the basketball planet!
Damn it. It’s 7:06 a.m. Quiet calm at the editorial office, then a cry. Then two, then it runs in all directions. Kevin Durant has just been transferred to the Suns. Certainly the biggest transfer of 2023 so far. He’s rushing to Arizona once morest – hold on tight – Mikal Bridges, Jae Crowder, Cam Johnson and 4 first unprotected draft rounds in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029. Damn, what the FUCK.
The Nets are trading Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns for a package including Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, four first-round picks and additional draft compensation, league sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. https://t.co/fJoFHv3i7M

Currently injured, Kevin Durant should not return to the courts for at least ten days. The Suns are making a monstrous gamble here, orchestrated by Mat Ishbia, the new owner of the franchise. The objective is clear: all in total on the title, from this year. Undoubtedly tired of the monstrous bazaar of Brooklyn for a season and a half now, KD finally also withdrew.
A few days following Kyrie Irving, it is therefore the second major asset of the Nets who goes West, to try to win a new ring following his double with the Warriors in 2017 and 2018. Speaking of the Nets, these recover the mortgage of the Suns over the current decade. Unprotected picks at all costs, as well as part of the heart of the Cactus game. Will it change before tonight? Mystery and gumdrop.

Kevin Durant is today one of the most lightning strikers in the NBA and even in the basketball world as a whole. With this transfer, the Suns achieve a huge blow. The title is within reach? We will have to do with Kevin’s fragile health, but the project has just gone upmarket very strongly all of a sudden. But damn it, WHAT THE..?
