After Kyrie Irving requested a trade out of Brooklyn and landed in Dallas, Kevin Durant also got traded, per Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Suns sent Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first-round picks, and a 2028 pick swap for Kevin Durant and TJ Warren, with KD wanting the move before the deadline.
As expected, KD’s trade drew a lot of reactions on Twitter.

I asked Kyrie Irving about Kevin Durant’s trade from the Nets to the Suns – “I’m glad he got out of there.”

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were traded on the same day. Kind of funny.

KD and Kyrie left behind 7 total playoff wins, two first round sweeps, a broken Ben Simmons and 15 3 + D wings. Thanks for everything Brooklyn!
