The NBA trade deadline has lived up to the hype. After Kyrie Irving departed from Brooklyn, the Nets were in play again on deadline day as they traded away franchise cornerstone Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns. This is a landscape-changing move and makes the 5th-seeded Suns the favorites in the West. While the trade has sent shockwaves around the league, a 12-year-old tweet has resurfaced, which may indicate that Durant will have no problem settling in Phoenix.

Durant has been allegedly dating Cassandra Anderson for quite some time now. While there are little to no details about the couple’s personal lives, they have been going strong. However, this resurfaced tweet from 2011 may get KD in trouble.

Kevin Durant admitted to liking a girl from Arizona

Due to the sheer bizarreness of his old tweets, Durant has often been ridiculed by NBA fans. However, one particular tweet from 2011 has resurfaced after his trade to the Suns as it involves “a girl from Arizona.”

I really liked this girl from Arizona and she told me "I'm going thru some stuff"…lol I had to laugh at that one

On September 16, 2011, Durant tweeted, “I really liked this girl from Arizona and she told me “I’m going thru some stuff”…lol I had to laugh at that one”. After admitting that he liked a girl from Arizona, KD quickly downplayed it. Whether he met this girl during a game in Phoenix or elsewhere is up for debate.

While fans may tease KD’s current girlfriend for it, there is not much to consider. The tweet is from 2011, when Durant was just 22 years old. Moreover, young KD was known for his bizarre tweets. For his 24th birthday, Durant wanted Rihanna to wish him a happy birthday.

The KD trade shakes up the Western Conference

While Durant instantly makes Phoenix the favorite to win it all, there are now other major players in the West. After making the Conference Finals last season, the Mavericks hope to go one step further with the addition of Irving. The Los Angeles Lakers also made a major trade on deadline day to increase their chances for another championship.

The Lakers acquired D’Angelo Russell from the Utah Jazz in a three-team trade that saw Russell Westbrook go the other way. However, teams will now be wary of the Suns’ new big three: Durant, Devin Booker, and Chris Paul. The already tightly contested Western Conference just became a lot more interesting.
