BREAKING: The Phoenix Suns are trading two-time NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in the 2025 draft and five second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
The deal places Durant on the No. 2-seeded Rockets and elevates the team’s positioning for title contention in the West. The Suns land a 23-year-old scorer for a high-powered backcourt with Devin Booker, a tough 3-and-D player and now have 3 firsts and 8 seconds to use in trades.
Blockbuster trade on the final day of the NBA season. The Suns engaged in deep conversations with the two Durant finalists — Houston and Miami — over the last 24 hours and reached agreement on the deal Sunday morning.

Much less than I thought. Well, of course, he’s no Desmond Bane.
GSW VS ROCKETS GONNA BE LIT
ROBBERY FOR HOUSTON
Actually a pretty solid return for both sides.
Phoenix gets two starting caliber players and some picks and the Rockets get to keep all their other first rounders.
People are exaggerating KD’s value by a whole lot here. You weren’t going to get a lot for a 37 yo with injury concerns and an expiring contract when your team basically has zero leverage.
Wow it actually happened before game 7 lol
Underwhelming relative to what they gave up for him as we expected
Suns fans how y’all feeling?
No Jabari, Eason, or Whitmore. Nice Rockets
Now that’s what I call stealing the Game 7 thunder
SHAMS BOMB BEFORE GAME 7
This news breaking AND a Game 7 today?
HELL YEAH
Market is so fucked
finally its over
The Suns definitely need more guards
If he goes to the rockets, how’s he supposed to go to the heat?!
lol happening the same day as Game 7 is so KD
NOOOOOOOOOOO
wanted him to go to the east
Brooks instead of Jabari lmao Rockets fans 12/25
This seems great for the Rockets.
The West is a fucking bloodbath

Actually though, I kinda like this for both sides
Only 1 first round pick damn
Booker, Beal, and Jalen Green 🔥
First “big 3” to all play the same position
SECOND ROUND PICKS FANS EATING
does Phoenix quickly move off of Jalen Green? Or do you think this is his greener pastures?
Didn’t give up Jabari, Eason, Whitmore, Sheppard
You’re telling me they got none of their future firsts back? Houston has to be popping bottles right now
Dillon brooks is a great get for the Suns, wonder what they will get for Jalen Green tho
I feel bad for Devin Booker man. Jalen Green AND Bradley Beal are gonna be brutal teammates to deal with if he’s trying to win
i’ve lost count of the number of roads
Wow suns collecting inefficient volume SGs on bad contracts like infinity stones
I don’t like that Dillon Brooks is gone
Five second round picks just to make it sound substantial lol
What the hell is PHX doing lol
They got 3 sg’s now Booker/Beal/Green smh
I literally just came to check this before bed and Shams drops this lmao
Somehow not the biggest news in the past 24 hours involving rockets.
Rockets finally have a shooter
What’s the suns plan lol Green and Booker isn’t a good pairing
KD, Russ, and Harden have all been Rockets now too lmao
I want to see a Jalen Green/Bradley Beal/Devin Booker lineup so badly
They get rid of Jalen Green and only give up 1 first for KD? Keep Amen and Jabari?
Great deal for Houston
Suns now have 3 starting SGs and still no PG
A starting front court of Durant, Thompson and Sengun is pretty formidable.
Houston be like here’s our trash lol
