Kevin Durant has been traded from the Phoenix Suns to the Houston Rockets in a landmark move that will see the 15-time All-Star join his fifth team in the league. The Rockets gave up Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and five second-round picks for Durant. This trade sets up for completion on July 6 when Durant will also have the opportunity to sign a two-year extension worth up to $122 million. Durant, who averaged 26.6 points during his time with the Suns, will join a talent-rich Rockets roster that performed well last season.
Durant will join a Rockets team that finished second in the Western Conference and is acquiring him through a significant trade involving young talent and draft picks.
This trade marks Durant's fifth team after storied stints with Oklahoma City, Golden State, Brooklyn, and Phoenix, reflecting his established legacy in the NBA.
