Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams ‘cried’ after he found out that Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson were being traded to the Brooklyn Nets in the Kevin Durant, according to a recent story by ESPN’s Nick Friedell. On Feb. 9, Bridges and Johnson were traded to the Brooklyn Nets along with draft picks for Durant and TJ Warren.
After the trade was done, Bridges and Johnson communicated the same level of disappointment to match Williams, especially since all three of them had a good connection with each other. Bridges and Johnson had grown to love being in Phoenix and embraced the Suns’ fanbase.
It looks like the arrangement has worked out for both franchises as the Nets have two promising young players along with draft picks to make something happen while the Suns got the superstar they need to make their championship push. However, no matter how successful Phoenix is in this postseason and in future seasons, it looks like Williams will always have love for the “Twins” as Phoenix center De’Andre Ayton called the duo of Bridges and Johnson for how close they are.
