Summary

  • Kevin Durant is traded to Rockets for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and six draft picks
  • The trade finalizes July 6 with the start of the NBA’s new league year
  • Durant calls Houston “very fitting” and looks forward to joining the team

Kevin Durant is officially headed to the Houston Rockets after a blockbuster trade with the Phoenix Suns. The news was revealed  earlier in New York at Fanatics Fest.

In exchange, the Suns will receive rising star Jalen Green, defensive anchor Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in this year’s NBA Draft and five second-round selections. The deal is expected to be finalized on July 6, when the NBA’s new league year begins.

Durant had previously named Houston, Miami and San Antonio as preferred destinations. At Fanatics Fest in New York, he reaffirmed his excitement about the move, calling Houston “very fitting” and expressing confidence that he’ll be a strong addition to the team.

The Rockets, who finished as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference last season, are now even more of a title threat. Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists over 62 games last season and holds the NBA’s longest active streak of averaging at least 25 points, 50% Field Goal, and 40% from three for three straight seasons according to ESPN.

He currently has one year left on his contract, worth $54.7 USD million, and is eligible for a two-year extension with the Rockets which can range up to $122 million USD. The move not only strengthens Houston but also shifts the balance of power in the Western conference.

Check out Durant’s reaction to the trade below.
