The Kevin Durant Trade Saga finally finished with two champions being traded for the Houston Rockets in exchange for Dillon Brooks, Jalen Green and the 10th and 5 second round picks in the 2025 NBA Draft.

ESPN’s Shams Charania broke the news as she reported that the Miami Heat had also made an offer, but the Houston Rocket offer was the Suns’s one that they had made together.

Kevin Durant joins forces with Houston’s Amen Thompson and Alperen Senggan to lead the younger team into the championship.

He also intends to join Ime Udoka, who had a good relationship with Brooklyn’s net since the time.

Taking Durant on the roster meant that the Rockets had to say goodbye to Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks.

Both were rocket starters and important players, but bringing in KD was important as it improved his score and added championship experience to the roster.

When he appears on the team now, Start 5 has lost two of his starters, but is expected to make a move to fill those spots, so there is a considerable change.

But as it is being built now, the rocket looks like a scary side.

Fred Vanvriet is the final year of his contract and no decisions have been made about his future.

However, players have excellent time with the franchise and could potentially be starting point guard next season.

Tali Eason’s contract is something that the franchise needs to look after, but it proves that players can trust them when they need it.

Eason certainly can move to the starting spot if the team decides not to ask for another option in the shooting guard position.

Amen Thompson is one of the most exciting players in the league and plays as a small forward.

KD can play as a small, power forward, just like Thompson, who showed his ability to defend multiple positions last season.

While Alperen Sengun will continue to play as the center of the team, Steven Adams is a backup that can be relied on in cases where the Turkish centre is not fit or available.

KD turns 37 when the season begins, but even if his scoring skills were with Sun, Rocket was confident when he made the move for him, and even when he made the move for him.

According to Demarcus Cousins, the two-time champions were efficient in scoring, and the Sands Locker Room did a lot.

Previous MVPs now have a great position as they have a roster that has the perfect balance between youth and experience.

Udoka changed the franchise and under him Rocket played basketball for another brand.

Bringing KD is certainly a big move as they proved they are superstars away from being a championship contender last season.

The Rockets are hoping that Thompson and Senggun will become All-Stars next year, as they know that KD will be his usual best.

As the trio progresses, the Rockets become a team that hits beats in the West.

With the entire offseason still remaining, the franchise can bolster its roster and make several more moves to help KD click on his third championship.
