NBA ERUPTS IN CHAOS! 😱💥 The Phoenix Suns DROP A BOMBSHELL By SHIPPING Kevin Durant to a Western Conference POWERHOUSE in a BLOCKBUSTER Trade Proposal! 💣💥 Fans STUNNED as One of the League’s Biggest STARS is on the Move
A massive trade proposal has the Phoenix Suns setting off fireworks across the NBA by dealing superstar Kevin Durant to a Western Conference rival.
The Suns have been a massive disappointment this season, sitting at 25-24 one day before the trade deadline. The “big three” of Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant hasn’t worked, and GM James Jones must consider all options to keep his team competitive.
With Booker and Beal already in the fold, the Suns can trade Durant and re-emerge as a title contender if they get the right return. And perhaps the ideal solution comes from one of the top teams in the West.
Fox Sports proposed a league-altering trade idea that has Phoenix trading Durant to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Jabari Smith Jr., Dillon Brooks, Reed Sheppard and a trio of unprotected first-round picks:
“The Suns get two former No. 3 overall picks in Sheppard and Smith, much-needed draft capital, and they could attempt to flip Brooks for more value.
It’s an absolute haul for the Rockets to give up, but the time is now for a squad that’s the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. In the aforementioned trade proposal, the Rockets move on from a handful of players whose long-term roles in Houston are murky, specifically Sheppard and Smith. Plus, they would still have a healthy amount of depth for the short term and plenty of assets to make another impact move in the offseason or ones that follow.”
Durant was acquired in a blockbuster trade with the Brooklyn Nets two years ago, but they have only won a single playoff series since his arrival (the opening round in 2023). But he certainly isn’t the issue in Phoenix, with averages of 26.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season.
