What was sure to be an exciting basketball-filled night turned into an exciting basketball-filled afternoon on Sunday when the Phoenix Suns traded superstar Kevin Durant away to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in the 2025 draft, and five second-round picks, per ESPN insider Shams Charania.
It feels like a solid move for Houston, which is shaping up to make a serious run at the postseason next year and hopefully compete for a title. The 36-year-old Durant, who is still in great form despite his age, could prove the missing piece and veteran presence the Rockets need to really take the next step in their come-up.
