Imagine: The football superstars Lionel Messi (35), Erling Haaland (22), Cristiano Ronaldo (38) and Kylian Mbappé (24) would all change clubs shortly before the end of the transfer phase…
The American NBA is currently experiencing a transfer earthquake of this kind!
Shortly before the end of the change period, 13-time All-Star and basketball superstar Kevin Durant (34) migrates from the Brooklyn Nets to the Phoenix Suns.
The basketball expert Chris Haynes of “TNT Sports” and “Bleacher Report” reported first.
Accordingly, the 2.08-meter-tall forward is drawn from New York to the metropolis of Arizona after three years.
In return, the Nets will receive three players and four draft picks from the Suns: With Mikal Bridges (26), Cameron Johnson (26) and Jae Crowder (32), three basketball players from the Suns will change jerseys.
But even with the LA Lakers around the German star Dennis Schröder (29), a lot has happened just before the end of the change period!
Point guard Russell Westbrook (34) switches from the NBA record champion to the Utah Jazz. In return, the Lakers from Los Angeles will get several players, including point guard D’Angelo Russell (26) from the Minnesota Timberwolves.
