Moved to Phoenix in blockuster The Suns agreed Thursday to acquire Durant (knee) and T.J. Warren from the Nets in exchange for Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder, unprotected first-round picks in 2023,...

Impact The trade of Durant comes as a surprise after recent reports suggested Brooklyn didn't intend to explore moving the superstar forward until after the season, but the 34-year-old will end up following Kyrie Irving out the door as the Nets restructure their roster. Durant is currently sidelined with an MCL sprain of his right knee that will keep him sidelined through the All-Star break, but the Suns were apparently comfortable with his medical report to sign off on the deal. Assuming Durant is ready to go at some point after the break, he'll join a star-studded lineup that includes Chris Paul, Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton, giving the Suns the sort of core that could make a deep run in the postseason.

Impact It seems safe to rule Durant out past the All-Star break, given that he's yet to take contact with just over a week until the festivities. Kyrie Irving being traded to the Mavericks sparked some questions regarding Durant's availability on the trade market, but he's expected to remain with Brooklyn for the rest of the season. Assuming that's the case, KD will be returning to a new-look team that just added Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith, and more moves may be on the way before Thursday's deadline. However, it seems unlikely Durant's role will change significantly regardless of what moves are made. He's amid an excellent campaign, averaging 29.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.5 blocks in 36.0 minutes.

Impact Though Durant expressed interest in joining the Suns this past summer and Phoenix has reportedly inquired about the 13-time All-Star's availability following the trade of Irving to Dallas, Brooklyn apparently hasn't shown any willingness to move on from Durant as Thursday's trade deadline approaches. Durant remains under contract for three more seasons, but the Nets will likely need to convince him that they will contend in the coming seasons for the veteran not to request a trade this offseason.
