Suns trade Kevin Durant to Houston Rockets

The Phoenix Suns have sent Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets in a long-rumored trade agreed upon mere hours before Game 7 of the NBA Finals. In exchange, Phoenix will receive Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and five second-round picks.

The Phoenix Suns traded Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in the 2025 draft, and five second-round picks. The Suns now have a surplus of guards, including Green, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Dillon Brooks.

"The Suns do not plan to trade Jalen Green," John Gambadoro of 98.7 FM Phoenix reported via X. "He is expected to play alongside Devin Booker in the backcourt." Green is incredibly young to be entering his fifth NBA campaign in 2025-26, but has shown elite offensive upside since joining the league.
