Durant has been traded to the Phoenix Sun early Thursday, Feb. 9, 2023,, just days after the team traded Kyrie Irving to Dallas, a stunningly fast end to the superstar era in Brooklyn. Harden was traded at last year's deadline to the Philadelphia 76ers, leaving the Nets with little to show for the brief time they had the Big Three together.
