Suns' T.J. Warren: Joining Durant in Phoenix

The Suns acquired Warren and Kevin Durant (knee) from the Nets on Thursday in exchange for Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder, unprotected first-round picks in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029 and a 2028 first-round pick swap, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Durant is the obvious headliner for the Suns, but they'll also replace some forward depth with the addition of Warren, who is shooting 51 percent from the field in 18.9 minutes per game this season (26 appearances). In Phoenix, where Warren spent the first five years of his career, he should have a chance to earn a larger role and help fill the shoes of the departed Bridges and Johnson. Expect Warren to primarily compete with Damion Lee, Torrey Craig and Dario Saric for minutes.
