Kevin Durant, the Brooklyn Nets and the Phoenix Suns shocked the NBA world earlier this week after they completed a trade that sent the 2x NBA champion to Arizona in exchange for Mikal Bridges, Jae Crowder, Cameron Johnson and four first-rounders in a huge trade.
This was a huge move for all teams, as they can continue building good things, although their goals are now very different than when the 2022-23 NBA season started.
Having Durant makes the Phoenix Suns championship favorites, as they have a Big 3 of KD, Devin Booker and Chris Paul. CP3 has made it clear that the addition of Durant is huge for the Suns, as he can make any team instantly better.
Kevin Durant Has Landed In Phoenix
The trade deadline struck and now everybody is settling into their new teams, including KD. The former Brooklyn Nets player has landed in Phoenix today, wearing Suns gear for the first time and we must say he looks clean.
The Suns shared a video of KD entering the Verizon 5G Performance Center, with Durant walking like he’s entering a very favorable situation, which is the case.

Phoenix has a terrific case for winning the 2023 NBA championship with Durant on the roster. He’s one of the best players of all time, and somebody who can do anything on the court. Before picking up a knee injury a couple of weeks ago, he was a top-5 MVP candidate, and the Suns hope to get that version of KD once he makes it back to the court.
This trade was monumental for Phoenix and now everybody wants to see what they’re capable of doing on the court. Rivals like Luka Doncic and Draymond Green have already named the Suns favorites to come out of the West, and it’s hard to disagree with them.
