Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal

The Phoenix Suns have an equally obvious motivation to make this trade. They’re receiving Kevin Durant.

If he’s not one of the ten best players in NBA history, he’s one of the 15. By adding him, the Suns could make themselves championship favorites heading into 2022-23.

After all, a trio of Durant, Chris Paul, and Devin Booker will rank among the league’s best. Frankly, they may be the league’s best. The Suns would suddenly have two players who command a double team, and one of the league’s best floor generals to put them in the best position to do so.

Many observers have been anticipating the demise of the Suns this summer. With so much controversy around Ayton’s rookie extension, it’s been hard to say with any confidence what the short-term future holds for this team.
