Overview

  • The Suns sent 36-year-old forward Kevin Durant to Houston in exchange for guard Jalen Green, forward Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in the 2025 draft and five future second-round selections.
  • Durant enters the final year of his four-year, $194.2 million contract with a $54.7 million salary next season and remains eligible for a two-year extension worth up to $122 million.
  • Phoenix moves on from its ‘Big 3’ era by pairing Devin Booker with incoming Jalen Green to form the core of its new backcourt.
  • Houston adds a proven scoring option to its young nucleus led by Alperen Şengün and Amen Thompson in hopes of immediate title contention.
