The future Hall of Famer looks set to join the Houston Rockets but the terms of the trade are complicating matters.

Rockets Release NBA Veteran Days After Kevin Durant Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Following a promising but ultimately short-lived 2024-25 season, one in which the Houston Rockets lost in the first round of the NBA playoffs, their front office pivoted decisively toward a win‑now mindset.

While Durant raises Houston's ceiling, the Rockets' depth took a hit with this deal as they traded two starters for one. Green and Brooks combined to play 65 minutes per game this season, so this exchange opens up 30-35 "new" minutes per night to be distributed among Houston's existing roster.
