The trade of Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets made a little NBA history and ESPN’s Shams Charania revealed the full terms. It’s the first ever seven-team NBA trade.

Durant went from the Phoenix Suns to the Rockets this summer, making it the fifth team of his career. The Suns made out nice with the amount they received back, which included six players and a draft pick.

The other five teams involved? They were the Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves. The full details can be seen below.

PHX: Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Khaman Maluach, Rasheer Fleming, Koby Brea, Daeqwon Plowden, 2nd

HOU: Kevin Durant, Clint Capela

BKN: 2 2nds

GSW: Alex Toohey, Jahmai Mashack

ATL: 2nd swap, David Roddy, cash

LAL: Adou Thiero

MIN: Rocco Zikarsky, 2 2nds, cash

“PHX: Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Khaman Maluach, Rasheer Fleming, Koby Brea, Daeqwon Plowden, 2nd,” Charania wrote. “HOU: Kevin Durant, Clint Capela; BKN: 2 2nds; GSW: Alex Toohey, Jahmai Mashack; ATL: 2nd swap, David Roddy, cash; LAL: Adou Thiero; MIN: Rocco Zikarsky, 2 2nds, cash.”

Durant is one of the most-accomplished NBA players of all time. He started in all 62 of his appearances for the Phoenix Suns last season. The two-time NBA Finals MVP averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game while shooting 52.7% from the field and 43.0% from beyond the arc.

Despite Durant’s individual excellent, the Suns posted a subpar 36-46 overall record this season and missed out on the NBA Playoffs. At 36 years old, Durant is likely entering the final years of his career and made it clear that he wanted to play for a contender.

Now, he’ll have that chance. The Rockets were the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference this season, but ultimately suffered a first-round upset in the NBA Playoffs against the Golden State Warriors. With Durant by their side, the Rockets will look to reach new heights next season.

After all, Durant has championship experience. The 6-foot-11 sharpshooter was spectacular in the Golden State Warriors’ runs to the 2017 and 2018 NBA championships. While Durant hasn’t won another NBA chip since 2018, he reminded fans last summer that he’s still more than capable of winning gold.

Durant was an integral part of Team USA’s run to the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He now has four gold medals and is the leading scorer in Team USA’s Olympic basketball history. Durant is the only player in basketball history with MVPs in the NBA, Olympics and World Cup.

On top of being the 2014 MVP and a two-time Finals MVP, Durant is a 15-time NBA All-Star, six-time All-NBA First-Team member and four-time NBA scoring champion. In fact, Durant is currently ranked eighth on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.
