Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Trade
The Phoenix Suns would acquire Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in this particular trade scenario. Is there really much more that needs to be said?
Given they would be risking their long-term future, parting with a player who will be 38 years old next spring in exchange for Irving could be a worthwhile proposition.
Keep in mind that Chris Paul unraveled in the Western Conference Semifinals. There may not be a scenario where he holds up for a successful NBA Finals run at this point.
With another shot creator on the wing and a point guard that can tear apart the defense in his own right, the Suns would be in an incredible position to further the Booker era.
