The forward forms a dream trident in the Suns with Chris Paul and Devin Booker and the Los Angeles team receives D’Angelo Russell in exchange for their point guard
The NBA is experiencing one of the most memorable market closes ever. Added to the Mavericks’ recent signing of Kyrie Irving is one of the biggest deals of the decade: Kevin Durant heads to Phoenix to form a dream trident with Chris Paul and Devin Booker.
The transfer, which marks a change in the American league landscape, will be completed in exchange for the arrival in Brooklyn of Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and four first-round drafts.
Kevin Durant ends his time with the Nets, marked by injuries and the disappointing big-three formed with Irving, already at Dallas, and James Harden, now at the Philadelphia 76ers, and disembarks in Arizona to try to make the first ring of the franchise history.
Another big move in recent hours has been the transfer of Russell Westbrook. In a three-way operation with the Timberwolves and the Jazz, the point guard has been traded to Utah and the Lakers sign D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt.
At the request of LeBron James, the player with the most triple-doubles in history, he arrived in Los Angeles in 2021. After a promising start, the team failed to qualify for the playoffs and was relegated to the bench this season, averaging 19 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists.
His departure is a round deal and brings relief to the Angelenos’ treasury. This year they charged over 47 million a year and they are taking on three quality players to improve the team’s wardrobe.
