The Suns have finally done it.
They traded away their star player after what some would view as a failed era in Phoenix.
Social media was quick to share their thoughts on the trade when the news broke.

KD trade is a sign of horrible management
The Suns gave up a lot of important assets for KD a few years ago, and comparing the haul they got from Houston to what they traded isn't very encouraging.
Turning Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, 4 first-round picks and a swap into Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and a late lotto pick in a middling draft in the span of just 28 months is franchise detonation levels of asset mismanagement.

One fan went to X to predict that we could be in store for a lot more, now that the KD trade has been officially sorted out.
Durant was the first domino. I expect Brad to make a move in the coming days.
