Overview

• Phoenix and Houston agreed June 22 to swap Durant for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in the 2025 draft and five second-rounders, with completion set for July 6 due to a poison-pill restriction
• The Suns will pair Green with Devin Booker as they rebuild after missing the 2024-25 playoffs and gain salary flexibility and future assets
• Houston’s second-seeded roster adds Durant to complement Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson and Fred VanVleet under coach Ime Udoka
• Durant, who averaged 26.6 points last season, has one year remaining on his deal and can sign a two-year extension worth up to $122 million after the trade is official
• The forward learned of the move live at Fanatics Fest in New York City and responded cautiously, saying “We’re gonna see what happens.”
