At this year’s trade deadline, the Phoenix Suns took a massive swing, trading for Kevin Durant in an attempt to improve their championship odds. They gave up a massive haul that included Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, and lots of first-round picks.
And while they got through the first round of the playoffs, their season ended the same way it did last year—they lost in a blowout in their final game of the season.
Last year, it was at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks. This time around, the Denver Nuggets blew them out in Game 6.
