On February 9, 2023, the Nets traded Durant, along with T. J. Warren, to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder, four unprotected first-round picks, and a 2028 first-round pick swap. Although Durant wanted to continue wearing No. 7 as he did in Brooklyn, the number was retired by the Suns in honor of Kevin Johnson. As a result, Durant announced that he would return to wearing the No. 35 jersey, which he had worn throughout his college and professional career prior to joining the Nets.
Who was Kevin Durant traded for when he was traded to the Suns?
Kevin Durant was traded to the Phoenix suns for T.J. Warren, Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder, and four first round picks.  The trade was considered fair given that the Suns, who are trying to win a championship now, received a top 10 player and the Nets received several promising young players who will help the Nets re-build their team after losing Durant and Kyrie Irving to trades.
