6, 2023: Traded Kyrie Irving to Mavericks
Thursday: In process of trading Kevin Durant to Suns*. Once the Suns were willing to move Dario Saric's contract out of the deal - and spare themselves surrendering second-round picks to account for his salary - the teams were on the cusp of an agreement, sources said.īrooklyn believes it has a chance to move Crowder to a contender before Thursday's deadline, and with that there existed the shape of a deal that made sense to the Nets. The Suns had been talking with Detroit about the possibility of acquiring Collins in a three-way deal with Atlanta, but Ishbia wouldn't call it a night without making one more run at Durant. The Nets pursued OG Anunoby in Toronto, and they discussed possible deals for Collins and Cleveland's Caris LeVert, but Durant's mood was unsettled and Brooklyn knew it had to push Phoenix to make the kind of offer it couldn't refuse. The Suns' offers weren't close to the Nets' asking price on Monday and Tuesday, and Marks kept working on possible trades to bolster the roster around Durant. Ishbia's initial hope was to keep Bridges out of the trade, but that was a nonstarter for the Nets. Few franchises ever get a chance to trade for a star like Durant - something this organization hadn't experienced since making a deal for Charles Barkley in 1992. Ishbia knew of Durant's desire to join his franchise and set out to acquire the superstar in his first official week overseeing the organization. The two-time Finals MVP has been sidelined by an MCL sprain in his right knee, but sources said there is optimism he will be ready to return after the All-Star break.ĭurant and his business manager, Rich Kleiman, told Tsai and Marks that their preference was a deal to Phoenix, sources said. Who won the NBA trade deadline? The list goes deeper than the suddenly super SunsĪfter shouldering a massive role in the dysfunction that ultimately deconstructed the roster, Irving was traded to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, and that started the final days and hours of Durant as a Net. They played a total of 16 games together. Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden all arrived to conquer the NBA together, and they all left on the muscle of trade requests. The deal delivers Durant to the desert to partner with Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton - and ends the great superstar experiment in Brooklyn. We are excited to welcome Mikal, Cam and their families to Brooklyn and thank Kevin for the moments and memories he delivered our fanbase." 
We remain steadfast in our commitment to building the team Brooklyn deserves.

"Mikal and Cam are elite, ascending, versatile wings, plus the draft capital provides us additional avenues to continue to acquire talent. "After thorough evaluation of the best path forward, we believe making this trade now positions the franchise for long-term success," Nets general manager Sean Marks said in a statement. ET - and it wouldn't be long until Ishbia and Nets owner Joe Tsai had cobbled together the final elements of the blockbuster trade, sources said. On the direction of his new owner, Mat Ishbia, general manager James Jones texted Nets GM Sean Marks sometime after 11 p.m. Talks had progressed and stalled, and the Suns appeared to be pivoting toward a three-way deal that might've landed them Atlanta's John Collins sometime Thursday morning, sources said. Warren were shuttled to the Suns for a massive haul of first-round draft picks (2023, 2025, 20) and a 2028 pick swap. In a deal that landed in the late-night hours ahead of Thursday's 3 p.m. After three-plus tumultuous years and a second trade request in eight months, All-NBA forward Kevin Durant was traded from the Brooklyn Nets to the Phoenix Suns for a package that includes dynamic forward Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and four unprotected future first-round picks, the team announced on Thursday.
