The blockbuster trade comes after the Suns failed to make the playoffs last season despite boasting a Big 3 of Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. Despite having KD for the past three seasons, the team never advanced to the conference finals.

The Suns traded Durant to the Houston Rockets and acquired Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, which turned out to be Duke freshman 7-footer Khaman Malauch and multiple second-round picks.

The Phoenix Suns are trading 15-time All-Star forward Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets, a source with direct knowledge of the agreement told CNN on Sunday.
