The Phoenix Suns are acquiring star forward Kevin Durant in a blockbuster trade with the Brooklyn Nets, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Phoenix is sending Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first-round picks and a 2028 pick swap to Brooklyn, according to sources. The picks, in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029, are unprotected.

The Suns are also getting forward T.J. Warren in the trade, sources said.

Durant wanted the move and new Suns majority owner Mat Ishbia pushed to get a deal done on the eve of Thursday's NBA trade deadline.

After the Nets traded Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, Durant had been engaged in conversations with Nets owner Joe Tsai and general manager Sean Marks on the direction of the franchise and its ability to be a championship contender, ESPN reported Tuesday.

Sources had told ESPN then that the Nets insisted to Durant and inquiring teams that the organization had no intention of moving him prior to the Thursday afternoon deadline.

Ishbia has been fully engaged in overseeing the Suns operation and aggressive in pursuing ways to make a major and immediate impact.

Durant -- who asked out and later rescinded a trade demand in the offseason -- held a strong interest in an offseason trade to the Suns, sources said.

There is optimism that Durant, who is currently out with an MCL sprain in his right knee, will be ready to return to action after the mid-February All-Star break, according to sources.

Durant, 34, has three years and $153 million left on his contract after this season. The former league MVP attended the Nets' loss to the LA Clippers on Monday night in Brooklyn but did not answer reporters' questions on his way out of Barclays Center.
