Orlando Magic Acquire Kevin Durant From Brooklyn Nets
Nets Receive:
- Markelle Fultz
- Jonathan Isaac
- Franz Wagner
- 2025 first-round pick
- 2027 first-round pick
- 2029 first-round pick
Magic Receive:
- Kevin Durant
The Orlando Magic have acquired Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets in a blockbuster trade, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The move comes after Durant requested a trade from the Nets earlier this summer, and the Magic were one of the teams that were reportedly interested in acquiring him. Durant is one of the best players in the NBA, and his addition to the Magic gives them a legitimate chance to compete for a championship.
The Nets are getting a good return for Durant, but they are also taking on a lot of salary in the deal. Fultz is a talented young player, but he has struggled to stay healthy throughout his career. Isaac is a former No. 1 overall pick, but he has also been injury-prone. Wagner is a promising young player, but he is still developing.
The Magic are giving up a lot of draft picks in the deal, but they are getting a player who is capable of leading them to a championship. Durant is a four-time scoring champion and a two-time NBA champion. He is one of the most unstoppable offensive players in the league, and he will make the Magic a much more dangerous team.
The trade is a major win for the Magic, and it gives them a chance to compete for a championship in the Eastern Conference. The Nets are getting a good return for Durant, but they are also taking on a lot of salary in the deal.
