The Phoenix Suns are acquiring star forward Kevin Durant in a blockbuster trade with the Brooklyn Nets.
The Suns are sending Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first-round picks and a 2028 pick swap to Brooklyn. The picks, in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029, are unprotected.
Phoenix is also getting T.J. Warren in the deal, sources said.
Durant wanted the move and new Suns majority owner Mat Ishbia pushed to get a deal done on the eve of the NBA trade deadline.
Durant is currently out with an MCL sprain in his right knee, but will likely be ready to return to action after the mid-February All-Star break.
Durant has three years and $153 million left on his contract after this season.
