“Kevin Durant to the Suns Might End NBA Drought!”: Trade Deadline Deal To Pit LeBron James Against the Durantula
The Phoenix Suns just shocked the entire league by pulling off the biggest trade leading up to the deadline. They secured the services of Kevin Durant.
With a package that includes Cam Johnson, Mikal Bridges, Jae Crowder, four first-round picks, and a pick swap, KD became a Sun. A heck of a move that makes the Western Conference that much more competitive.
With the Slim Reaper back in the West, the mouth-watering matchups fans will be treated to are wild. This includes facing off against LeBron James for the first time since 2018.
Kevin Durant and LeBron James could matchup for the first time since 2018
Back during the height of the Cavs-Warriors Finals rivalry, there was one major debate. Who was better? LeBron James or Kevin Durant.
Over the years, this debate has died down. However, with the Phoenix Suns making a blockbuster trade for KD, the keyboard fighters can go back at it. After all, not only are LeBron and Durant back in the same conference but the same division as well.
Meaning that, for the first time since 2018, The King and the Slim Reaper will go head-to-head.
