The Suns are sending Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first-round picks, a 2028 pick swap for Durant and TJ Warren, sources tell ESPN. Durant wanted move and new owner Mat Ishbia pushed to get deal done tonight. https://t.co/fqFUMIDllo
Suns are the best team in the league by far now (KD, Booker, Paul, Ayton) and the best hope to finally end the Warriors dynasty once and for all. Better not blow it. [Reply]

The Suns are going to be the favorites to win the title for the next 2-3 years because of this. The picks don't matter at all to them, nor should they. [Reply]

If anything, it's light to me for 3+ years of Durant.
Durant's a top 10 player in NBA history and while not at his peak anymore is still an unstoppable scorer showing no real signs of slowing down. I'm pretty surprised they didn't get Ayton off them really. [Reply]
The Raptors bring back the center they drafted, developed and traded for Kawhi Leonard with an intention of signing him to a new contract this summer, sources tell ESPN. Toronto's been desperate for a center and they've landed him in Poeltl now. https://t.co/AUmGfKqWu9
Looks like the Raptors aren't going to be engaging in a firesale after all tomorrow. I do like Poeltl at least and have since they traded him for Kawhi four years ago. [Reply]

Booker and KD on the same team. Zoinks!
Ayton is kind of a bum. Honestly Id play Biyombo a little more now that they have that scoring punch. Ayton not a guy that will do the dirty work. [Reply]
