Durant, Green Headline Seven-Team NBA Blockbuster

In a historic seven-team NBA trade, the Phoenix Suns sent Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets and received Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 draft pick (used on Khaman Maluach), and additional assets. Jalen Green expressed mixed emotions about leaving Houston but is optimistic about joining Devin Booker and making a fresh start in Phoenix. The Suns are now focusing on youth and flexibility, ending their 'superteam' era and retooling their roster around Green and Booker. Dillon Brooks and the new draft picks are expected to help bolster Phoenix's defense. The Rockets, now led by Durant, are shifting to a win-now strategy and are considered championship contenders. Both franchises are signaling major strategic shifts with this blockbuster deal.
