The Houston Rockets have stopped Kevin Durant’s game-changing deal.
Kevin Durant has been traded for the Houston Rockets and ended his two-year stint with the Phoenix Suns.
The Rockets have abandoned their 10th overall pick to win Jaren Green, Dillon Brooks and two-time NBA champions in the 2025 draft.
Durant adds much needed experience and firepower to the rockets that were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
Despite the early playoff exits, the Houston Rockets were one of the best teams in the NBA in the regular season, finishing as a second seed.
Durant’s trade rubber will stamp them as a 2025-26 contender, but there is still room for further strengthening the team.
Giannis Antetokounmpo gives a quick response about X, giving his verdict to the new Look Rockets roster, writing, “Ahhhh.”
Stephen A. Smith of ESPN wrote to X:
“This is now a title contender. There’s no doubt. H-Town is in the mix.”
Kevin Durant spent two seasons with the Phoenix Suns, but from a team perspective it didn’t lead to hype.
His desire to be traded came after the team tried to trade him during the midseason, making it inevitable that offseason departures were to be deserted.
Sofa score data highlights Kevin Durant’s impressive scores over his two years at Phoenix, averaging 26.8 points per game.
Durant played 145 games in two seasons, averaging 36.7 minutes per game, earning 52.7% off the field.
The Rockets have an elite scorer, and although he is 36 years old, he is exactly what Houston needs to reach the next level and is more fearful about his opponent.
