In one of the most explosive Woj bombs in recent memory, news broke late Wednesday night that the Phoenix Suns<\/a> were nearing a blockbuster trade to acquire Kevin Durant<\/a> from the Brooklyn Nets. Sure enough, the deal became official a few minutes later, and the Suns immediately lept up the odds board to become the new favorites to win the Western Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoenix pulled the trigger at the perfect time, too, as Durant is only in his first year of the massive contract extension he signed in 2021. So, how much money is left on KD's contract, and how many years do the Suns have control of the future Hall of Famer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just when we thought the 2023 NBA trade deadline was going to be a quiet one, mayhem broke out on Wednesday night. First, the Los Angeles Lakers got rid of Russell Westbrook for a package of D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt. Then, after most NBA fans had already gone to sleep, the Suns struck a deal with the Nets to land Kevin Durant. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN was the first to report the trade in a tweet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Woj, Phoenix is sending Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four unprotected first-round picks (2023, 2025, 2027, and 2029), and a 2028 pick swap for Durant and T.J. Warren. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a hefty price to pay, sure, but it'll be more than worth it if Durant is able to lead the Suns to their first NBA title in franchise history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
