Kevin Durant has always been a fan.
The Suns’ acquisition of Bradley Beal likely received influence from Kevin Durant‘s high praise of the star guard. In a quote from December 2022, Durant referred to Beal as a Hall of Fame, All-Star player, not just a scorer.
“I mean, he’s a Hall of Fame, All-Star scorer. Player, sorry. Calling him just a scorer is diminishing who he is.” Durant said of Beal.

This endorsement only adds to the excitement for Suns fans, as they welcome the NBA’s newest big three featuring Beal and fellow All-Star guard Devin Booker.
The trade involved Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, second-round picks, and pick swaps for Beal. The trio’s scoring potential is among the most prolific we’ve seen in recent history.
In the 2023 NBA Playoffs, Booker and Durant combined for over 62 points per game. Beal’s addition to the team reflects the Suns’ focus on adding an elite scorer, as the team anticipates the departure of players like Paul and Ayton.
