He is one of the greatest stars in his sport and beyond. In the autumn of his career, Kevin Durant will change the club again.
There is a spectacular exchange of players in the NBA: According to a report by ESPN, Kevin Durant should switch from the Phoenix Suns to the Houston Rockets. The deal, which can be carried out at the earliest from July 6th, would mean the end of the almost two-year collaboration between the 15-time Allstar and the Suns.
In return, the Rockets are supposed to leave the sun in addition to Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks to the tenth pick in this year’s draft-in addition to five second-round picks. The personnel could continue to drive the upheaval in Phoenix after the past season was disappointing.
Durant commented on the upcoming change at the Fanatics in New York on Sunday. According to ESPN, the 36-year-old said: “I look forward to being part of the Houston Rockets. The past few weeks have been totally crazy, but I’m glad it’s over.” Houston has had “a great season”, said Durant: “I love her management.
Durant switched from Brooklyn to Phoenix in February 2023. In his career he won the championship with the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018, became the best scorer of the league four times and won the MVP award of the main round in 2014. In addition, the wing player became four times the Olympic champion and once world champion.
The Suns had missed the play-offs last season and ended the Western Conference in eleven. As a consequence, coach Mike Budenholzer was released.
