The Brooklyn Nets are trading Kevin Durant and TJ Warren to the Phoenix Suns for Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first-round draft picks, and a 2028 pick swap.
The unprotected picks are in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Durant was reportedly looking for a move, with Mat Ishbia looking to complete the deal on Wednesday night.
Durant reportedly had a strong interest in getting traded to the Suns when he asked for a trade last summer. Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report adds that the trade was a collaborative effort from Durant and the Nets, and the two sides part ways on good terms.
There is optimism that Durant can return from his MCL injury following the All-Star break.
