Welcome to Snagged Sports, where we ✨snag✨ all the best stories in sports and serve them to you on a silver platter...or screen for that matter. In today's edition, we'll take a look into the absolutely insane past 24 hours in the NBA. Let's get into it.

👑 The Main Character: Kevin Durant 👑

The NBA has done it again. With just hours left until the NBA Trade Deadline is set to end, the Phoenix Suns pull off a trade that is sure to shake things up. The Brooklyn Nets dealt 13x NBA All-Star Kevin Durant for Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and four first-round picks, which if you noticed, is in-fact one pick LESS than was given up for Rudy Gobert...yikes.

Brooklyn is clearly rebuilding after their failed 'Big 3' experiment, and new Nets owner, Mat Ishbia, gets to look to the future with (hopefully) less drama than these past 3 years.

As for the Suns, they are officially in win-now mode. Adding KD to an all ready star-studded roster with Chris Paul, Devin Booker, and Deandre Ayton; it's NBA Finals or bust for this squad.

Who won this trade? To me, it has to be the Suns. They sacrificed their future for an all-time great, but as they say, winning fixes all problems. Phoenix, let's hope that's the case.

You May Not Have Seen THIS 👀

The NFLPA sent out a poll to all players asking which cities were their favorite and least favorite to travel to. Any guesses on what they were?

• Favorite: Los Angeles, surprise surprise. This is a no brainer. Who doesn't want to go play in a $5B stadium surrounded by clear skies and celebrities?

• Least Favorite: Green Bay, Wisconsin. You mean the middle of nowhere Wisconsin with a population of 80,000 and freezing cold temperatures near year-round?! Noooooo...

🤍 Wholesome Content 🤍

It may have been the best, and most heart-warming news of the day. Buffalo Bills safety, Damar Hamlin, who collapsed on the field during a Monday Night game back in December, was told by team doctors that he "would be able to football again".

Everyone loves a good comeback story, and Hamlin has an entire nation rooting to see him step on a football field again.

💰 The Cover Corner 💰

Our guy @careercovers knows a thing or two when it comes to sports betting. Of course, only put up what you can afford, but here's a bet our guy is quite confident in for today.

🏀 CBB: Northwestern vs. Ohio State u 136

• Northwestern is one of the best defensive teams in the country, and not to mention, plays - as the commentators would put it - "at their own pace". They also come in on the night 13-9-1 on the under. And as if I hadn't convinced you enough, the Wildcats in their last matchup against THE Ohio State University went under 136 as well. I think Northwestern keeps it close and this game will end up with both teams in the low 60’s to high 50’s.

🏀 CBB: San Francisco vs. Gonzaga u 155.5

• Simply put, it's too many points. This line is inflated because of Gonzaga's brand, and both teams are a combined 26-22 on the under. I expect to see a solid 75 point game for the winners in this matchup

⛳️ PGA: Justin Thomas +0.5 strokes vs. Max Homa in First Round @ WM Phoenix Open

• Z is not going to like this one...Max Homa is coming off a win at the Farmer's Insurance and is one of the hottest bets in golf right now. Don't get me wrong, I love Homa +5000 to win the U.S. Open later this season over in LA, but this isn't California. JT is averaging 68.13 at TPC Scottsdale over his last eight events there with a low round of 64. Homa on the other hand is averaging just 70 through four events with a low round of 69. I rest my case. Give me JT all day.

Do what you must with this valuable information.

🐣 Tweet of the Day 🐣

Yep, this pretty much sums it up. Is he happy? Sad? Excited? Probably a combination of those emotions, and many more.
