ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania dropped the news bomb Sunday revealing that Kevin Durant will be traded to the Houston Rockets, while the Suns will get back a huge haul of players and draft picks, including the no. 10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

For Durant, the young core of players on the Rockets will be a promising destination for him to hopefully restart his career after a few disappointing seasons in Phoenix.

The most interesting returning piece for the Suns is Rockets star Jalen Green, who averaged over 21 points per game this season while shooting over 41 percent from the field. The 23 year old was drafted by Houston back in 2021, however, now he'll have the chance to team up with Phoenix star Devin Booker.
