The Phoenix Suns have reached a blockbuster trade agreement with the Houston Rockets, sending Kevin Durant to a new team. The deal will become official on July 6, according to ESPN.

In exchange for the 15-time NBA All-Star, the Suns will receive Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th overall pick in the upcoming draft, as well as five second-round picks.

This move sees the 37-year-old Durant joining a young and ambitious Rockets squad, featuring rising stars Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, and Fred VanVleet.

It's worth noting that Houston was among Durant's top destination choices, alongside Miami and San Antonio. Despite his age, the forward continues to put up stellar numbers: last season, he averaged 26.6 points per game, shooting over 50% from the field and nearly 41% from three-point range.
