The Suns landed 13-time NBA All-Star Kevin Durant in a blockbuster deal with the Nets this past week. The move has been widely praised by pundits and boosted Phoenix back into conversation about teams capable of competing for an NBA title this year.
But one Arizona-based columnist has the complete opposite opinion of the deal struck to land the generational talent.
Phil Boas of the Arizona Republic penned a scathing review of the Durant trade from the perspective of a longtime Arizona sports fan, in which he suggested that the deal for the 34-year-old forward “may be the worst trade in Arizona sports history.”
