Overview

• Agreement reached on June 22 sends Durant to Houston in exchange for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and five second-round selections.
• The trade cannot be finalized until the new league year begins due to a poison pill provision in Green’s rookie contract extension.
• Houston’s roster, led by coach Ime Udoka and featuring Alperen Şengün and Amen Thompson, now includes Durant as its primary scoring option.
• Phoenix adds backcourt talent in Green and defensive toughness in Brooks while stockpiling draft capital to rebuild around Devin Booker.
• Sportsbooks have reacted to the move by shortening the Rockets’ title odds from 18-1 to 8-1 following news of the trade.
