Suns Get KD, Fans Thrilled And Heartbroken

For weeks there were whispers that Kevin Durant would get traded to the Phoenix Suns. On Feb. 9, less than 12 hours after Matt Ishbia took ownership of the Suns, he pulled off a trade that will go down in history. Ishbia is potentially just one starter away from building a championship team.

The immediate reaction of many fans was that of excitement…but it appears that excitement was quickly met with the realization that the Suns were losing the “twins.”

The Suns look solid with four out of five starters lined up – Devin Booker, Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton and now Kevin Durant. But it came at the cost of losing fan favorites Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson. Across Arizona, this duo is better known as the “twins” and the two have been key fixtures for the Suns since the day they arrived in the Valley.

As always, fans took to social to express all their feelings surrounding this massive trade. Twitter is usually the “Go-To” for sports news on social but if you want to really get in your feelings – TikTok is the platform for you. Let’s take a look at some of the most emotional, excited and honest fan reactions. Big-time fans, it’s time to break out the tissue box.
