Hey NBA readers and fans, I wanted to back track a little bit in this blog to post about Kevin Durant. As we all know by now February 9th KD was shipped to the Phoenix Suns from the Brooklyn Nets. The trade included sending Tj Warren with KD to the Suns for Mika Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and a pick. March 1st he played his first game with the Suns scoring 23 points in a 105-91 win over the Charlotte Hornets. Also recently, March 5th he got to match up against his friend and former teammate Kyrie Irving who is now in Dallas with Luka Doncic. That game was a thriller between both teams! The Phoenix Suns defeated the Dallas Mavericks 130-126; Both had two standout performances from their scoring duos. As for Dallas, Kyrie had 30 while Luka added 34 and for Phoenix, KD had 37 while Devin Booker finished with 36 in the win. It was good to see how both of these teams matched up because, they could see each other in the playoffs. It is also good to see these two teams improve with the help of the former Brooklyn stars KD and Kyrie. What do you all think about the KD trade? Do you think the Suns have what it takes to go all the way?
