Phoenix Suns going all in to get the championship

Kevin Durant may be a big catch for Phoenix Suns if they want to win the title. His partnership with Devin Booker is expected to be a high scoring one. The 4 players in Durant, Booker, Paul, and Ayton are individually great players capable of carrying a team on their shoulders. Thus, the suns can afford one or two of these players to have an off day without affecting the title campaign too much.

Despite the trades, Suns will keep trying to add some more arrows to their arsenal. What do you think about the trade? Do you think Durant can help the suns win the championship?
