That's way too much for fucking a 34 year old Kevin Durant
His game is ageless, but yes, it's a lot. I'd rather have moved Ayton over Mikal. Sigh.

Wow, here is your 2023 NBA champions Phoenix Suns!?
Sorry bout Mikal but you have to say yes to KD.
Now all we need is just one f.cking Ring in the KD era.

Brutal.

I guess this is what I get for taunting Jimmy Jones with my Crowder buy-out joke.

Man I wish Ishbia's purchase was finalized in the offseason.

Hope we get a championship out of this.

Gotta think KD is gonna come in with what's left of his hair on fire trying to show the world he's still him. Not sure how you stop the quadrant if Ayton is engaged.

I can't remember the last time I was simultaneously ecstatic and depressed about a Suns deal.
Right. It’s a strange feeling man.
They traded for my favorite non-Suns player in the NBA, and now Mikal is my favorite non-Suns player in the NBA. Wild.
Offensively. Unreal. Defensively? Yikes.
Don't underrate KD's defense.

Losing Bridges hurts so much. Woj said they were trying figure out a way to do the deal without but Ishbia pushed to get this done.
Dude. I never expected it to hurt this much.

Didn’t even know I cared about the man like this.

Yes, he's gonna have free reign in the paint, he should sleep walk to 20/10 now.

Yup. Now he really needs to excel in his role.

It’s just too bad that the homegrown team couldn’t quite get it done.

We kept Ayton and added Durant?!
My dream scenario from the summer that everyone said could never happen! Hate losing Mikal though. I’m only okay with this if Durant stays healthy!
Mikal gets separated from his best friend. :cry:

Haha, I'm exactly the same. I've been waiting for something to happen and had a hunch we'd get KD in the end, but giving up Bridges is a gut punch.

Hopefully we'll address our defensive shortcomings in a deal for Crowder, otherwise this feels like too big of a gamble.

Ok
This caught me off guard, just here at work and expecting all the drama to be tomorrow

Maaaannn I really was tired of the KD rumour, think it was just becoming something else to mock Suns about, another Big What if

Even in all the potential scenarios, I never thought it would be BOTH......

Wow man :? :cry:

I don’t know what to think right now…so many conflicting emotions… I can’t believe Kevin Durant is a Sun! And Mikal is not
