The Brooklyn Nets have reportedly agreed to a deal to trade away superstar Kevin Durant just days after the franchise agreed to send away fellow star Kyrie Irving, ending the franchise’s hopes of creating a dynasty with the two players.
Durant will be sent to the Phoenix Suns for a whopping four 1st-round picks as part of what would be one of the biggest blockbuster deals in NBA history, according to ESPN.
The deal includes the Nets receiving Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first-round picks and additional draft compensation. The Suns will acquire Durant and TJ Warren, per ESPN.
According to ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, Durant wanted to move to the Suns and new owner Mat Ishbia pushed to finalize the deal.
