Nets Agree to Trade Kevin Durant to Phoenix Suns (The New York Times)

The Nets are set to receive a package of players and first-round picks for Durant, just days after trading away Kyrie Irving.

The deal to trade Durant came a day after the N.B.A. The Nets added Durant and Irving in the summer of 2019, expecting the two of them to lead the franchise to a championship — or maybe several championships with a little luck. The Nets never advanced past the Eastern Conference semifinals during Irving and Durant’s time on the team. The team acquired guard James Harden from the Houston Rockets in January 2021 to create a superteam so talented some wondered if it was the greatest team in N.B.A. In exchange for Durant, the Nets will receive the forwards Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson and Jae Crowder, along with four first-round draft picks and the right to swap another first-round pick. “We had a lot of conversations throughout the year of what our futures were going to look like,” Irving said of Durant.

Brooklyn Nets trading superstar Kevin Durant to Phoenix Suns for ... (USA TODAY)

In a move that changes the NBA, the Nets are trading Kevin Durant to the Suns for a massive haul of players and draft picks.

The Nets acquired Durant, Irving and James Harden and hired Steve Nash in 2020 as coach. The Nets had not released a timetable for his return prior to trading him. The Suns will be getting Durant – a 13-time All-Star and two-time NBA Finals MVP – and forward T.J. He was hoping to return for the All-Star Game but that will not happen. The deal will send Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and four first-round picks to the Nets, in addition to a pick swap in 2028. Moving Durant marks a hard reset for Brooklyn, which is now set to receive Phoenix's first-round picks in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029.

NBA trade deadline live updates: Russell to Lakers, Westbrook to ... (The Athletic)

While Kyrie Irving's trade to the Mavericks may go down as the biggest trade of this cycle, there could still be plenty more movement before the NBA trade ...

And on a team that hopes to have another player who takes a lot of shots in Karl-Anthony Towns returning sometime after the All-Star break, bringing a more classic quarterback to help run the offense could help smooth things out. This might have been more plausible before the resurrection of The Homie this past month (Šarić in January: 16-10-4 per 36, 63 percent true shooting!), but if Crowder is traded for less returning salary, then even a deal of Shamet and, say, Torrey Craig to the Spurs could get them below the line. Of course, the completion of that trade has now taken the Mavericks’ title odds from +2500 (pre-trade) to +1400 (post-trade), with the pairing of Luka Dončić and Irving appearing to attract bettors. You could combine this into two answers: The Knicks need a little more bench scoring, and they also need another shooter. Anyway, it worked out well enough: Lowry was moved in a sign-and-trade for Precious Achiuwa and Goran Dragić, the latter of whom was traded with a first-round pick for Thaddeus Young and the pick that became Christian Koloko. Bones Hyland is a dynamic young player, and the prospect of potentially trading the second-year guard should not be taken lightly by Nuggets GM Calvin Booth and his staff. 19, the Clippers have the best offense in the NBA (123.5 points per 100 possessions) and third-best net rating (8.1, behind only the two teams they lost to on this trip: Cleveland and Milwaukee). The last time the Raptors were in a potential sellers’ role at the trade deadline, they had two pending free agents. and second-round pick compensation to Minnesota, sources tell The Athletic. The Lakers improved their roster and didn’t have to empty their asset cupboard. The Athletic’s Shams Charania is reporting that the Lakers are finalizing a three-team deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Utah Jazz that would have the Lake Show acquiring D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt. to Minnesota, sources tell The Athletic's Shams Charania and Tony Jones.

Kevin Durant à Phoenix : les gagnants et les perdants du trade (BasketSession)

Qui s'en sort le mieux après ce trade de Kevin Durant vers Phoenix ? Les Suns ? Les Nets ? KD lui-même ?

C'est lui qui a balancé la bombe et les détails du trade de Kevin Durant en premier ce matin, alors que Shams Charania dominait plutôt le game récemment. On avait l'impression qu'il serait le premier à sauter avant la deadline, mais ce sont finalement Kyrie et KD qui sont partis. Enfin, sauf si Brooklyn le trade ou le coupe tout de suite, ce qui est une possibilité... Théorie : Woj a envoyé Kay Adams en mission pour séduire Shams et lui faire perdre du temps sur la recherche de scoops. On ne sait jamais quand le train des Finales va repasser et quitter un groupe qui ambitionne de les retrouver pour un autre qui aura du mal à se qualifier pour les playoffs dans les prochaines années, ça pique. Certes, CP3 est sur le déclin, mais dans l'optique de rejouer des Finales NBA avant la fin de sa carrière, cette arrivée de Kevin Durant est une excellente nouvelle et il va pouvoir donner toute l'énergie qu'il lui reste pour atteindre cet objectif. A part le fait de se rapprocher de sa Pennsylvanie natale, on ne voit pas bien en quoi ce trade peut être réjouissant pour celui qui est l'un des meilleurs ailiers two-way de la NBA. Quand on veut remporter un titre, voir le meilleur attaquant de sa génération - pour ne pas dire plus - débarquer dans l'équipe, c'est une bénédiction. Sur le papier, l'arrivée de Kevin Durant est évidemment phénoménale. Certes, James Jones a hypothéqué une partie de l'avenir de la franchise en dealant trois futurs premiers tours notamment, mais à chaud on peut se dire que ce n'est pas totalement déraisonnable. Avec le départ de Kyrie, on les avait étiquetés "gagnants" il y a quelques jours. Il y avait de quoi faire une campagne de playoffs a minima correcte avec ce groupe et KD.
