NBA superstar Kevin Durant has made a blockbuster move, agreeing to join the Houston Rockets after being traded by the Phoenix Suns. The news broke on Sunday during Fanatics Fest in New York City, where Durant was addressing fans when he got word of the trade.
Durant confirmed that he played a role in the team selecting his destination and expressed his excitement about joining the Rockets. He will be joining Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft, and five second-round draft picks in exchange for him.
The trade is seen as a strategic move by Durant, who had listed the Rockets as one of his preferred teams before the season. The Suns are now looking to rebuild with their new roster, while the Rockets are counting on Durant to lead them to success.
Durant’s addition marks a significant turning point for the Rockets, who lost in the first round of last year’s playoffs despite having a strong team. The 36-year-old will be expected to provide a boost to the team’s scoring and playoff performance.
The trade deal sets the stage for an exciting new chapter in Durant’s career with the Rockets, and fans are eager to see how he will fare in his new role.
