The Phoenix Suns have formally established themselves as the next NBA superteam with the late-night Wednesday signing of Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant.
Before the trade deadline, the Nets just let Kyrie Irving go, and they are now completely rebuilding, especially after receiving four first-round picks from the Suns.
Superstars Devin Booker and Chris Paul will play for Phoenix’s NBA team three days before the NFL’s Super Bowl LVII.
Super Bowl 57 will be held at State Farm Stadium, the Arizona Cardinals’ home, on Sunday, February 4. Will Kevin Durant be there? Eagles and Chiefs are vying for the Lombardi Trophy as of position 12, respectively. Just 18 miles separate you from Footprint Center, the Suns’ home court.
Being a huge fan of both the NFL and music, nobody would be surprised to see KD at the Super Bowl on Sunday and grooving to Rihanna’s Halftime performance. It would also be a fantastic way to introduce him to Phoenix’s residents.
Kyrie Irving, a new Dallas Mavericks member and a former Kevin Durant teammate, responded to the trade. He expresses gratitude for his escape: “I’m just glad he got out of there.”.
Irving claims he is glad they are both in situations where they can “thrive” right now. He is also pleased to see him “a bit more now in the same conference, as brothers.”
