Other NBA Trade Winners
This week also saw a trade win for the Phoenix Suns as Kevin Durant joins Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and Deandre Ayton to create one of the most fearsome quartets in the league, as per an earlier HNGN report.
Despite the deal reducing their depth with the Kevin Durant trade, the Suns still have talented, seasoned role players such as Torrey Craig, Cam Payne, Damian Lee, and Landry Shamet.
The only question is: can they keep themselves healthy until the playoffs?
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers dispatched Russell Westbrook and his troubles while gaining excellent players like D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt, only losing one of their two future first-round selections, according to CBS Sports.
In the days leading up to the NBA trade deadline, Westbrook's departure was surrounded by speculations. His recent play wasn't good enough to make up for the obvious flaws, so he played right into his own worst judgments, per Yahoo! Sports.
