BREAKING: KEVIN DURANT HAS BEEN TRADED TO THE ROCKETS…..
In a move that has shaken the NBA to its core, Kevin Durant has been traded to the Houston Rockets in a blockbuster deal that could redefine the league’s power balance.
The deal, finalized late Tuesday night, sends the 14-time All-Star and two-time NBA champion to Houston in exchange for a package that includes multiple first-round picks, young talent, and veteran contracts. Full details are still emerging, but early reports confirm the Rockets are going all-in to contend immediately—and with Durant in the fold, they just might.
Durant, 36, is still one of the most lethal scorers in the league and averaged 27.1 points per game last season. Despite injuries and shifting rosters, his impact remains undeniable. Now, he joins a rising Houston core led by Jalen Green, Alperen Şengün, and head coach Ime Udoka, creating a compelling mix of veteran leadership and youthful firepower.
For Durant, this marks yet another chapter in his storied career—a journey that’s included stints with the Thunder, Warriors, Nets, and Suns. Joining the Rockets gives him a fresh chance to chase another ring and mentor a team on the brink of breaking through.
Houston’s front office, led by GM Rafael Stone, clearly believes the time is now. This move signals the franchise’s transition from rebuild to title pursuit. Fans in H-Town are buzzing, and with Durant’s arrival, expectations are sky-high.
Durant is expected to address the media later this week. Training camp will certainly be one to watch as KD dons Rockets red for the first time.
One of the greatest ever is heading to Houston. The NBA landscape just changed—again.
