The Phoenix Suns have acquired Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets in a blockbuster trade that shocked the NBA world. Fans and players around the league are still buzzing from the news, and Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was one of the latest to weigh in:

Green seemed to save most of his thoughts for his upcoming podcast, as he so often does, but he made sure to emphasize the madness of the trade. Having played with Kevin Durant with the Golden State Warriors, Green has complicated history with the superstar forward, but the two seem to be on good terms now.

The Warriors are the defending champions, but they are far from the favorites in the Western Conference. Led by Steph Curry, there is always a chance that the Warriors will be in the mix, but hovering around .500, it feels like they must make a move in order to keep up with Phoenix.

The Suns were a unit before landing Kevin Durant, having gone to the NBA Finals in 2021, and they now acquire one of the greatest players of all-time without having to give up Devin Booker, Chris Paul, or DeAndre Ayton. Warriors forward Draymond Green is clearly shocked by the news, as is everyone in the NBA world.

Fans will be eagerly awaiting what comes next from teams around the league as they look to counter this major move.
