One day ago, a reporter revealed that the Suns and Rockets are pulling Lakers, Nets, Hawks, Warriors and Timberwolves into the seven-party big deal. This deal about Durant will create NBA history. A day later, the specific plan for the seven-party big deal is suspected to be released.

According to the joint report between BR and SC, the details of this 7-party big deal are suspected to be released:

Rockets: Durant (from the Suns), Capela (from the Hawks);

Hawks: 2031 second-round swap rights (from the Rockets), cash (from the Rockets);

Nets: 2026 second-round pick (from the Rockets), 2030 second-round (from the Rockets);

Warriors: Tuxi's signing rights (from the Suns), Mashaq's signing rights (from the Rockets);

Lakers: Thiero's signing rights (from the Nets);

Timberwolves: Zikarsky's signing rights (from the Lakers), 2026 second-round pick (from the Suns), 2032 second-round pick Rights (from the Suns), cash (from the Lakers), Walker's trading exception (half of the starting salary);

Suns: Jaylen Green (from the Rockets), Dillon (from the Rockets), Maruac's signing rights (from the Rockets), Fleming's signing rights (from the Timberwolves), Breya's signing rights (from the Warriors), 2026 second-round draft pick (from the Rockets), 2032 second-round draft pick (from the Rockets);

Subsequently, many media also followed and reported the specific plan of this transaction. Although this is not an official announcement, it is almost certain. In this way, Whitmore did not become a part of Finney Smith's signing and then exchange and sent it to the Lakers. Finney Smith signed the Rockets as a free agent, and his contract is 53 million for three years.

Whitmore was not sent to the Lakers, so the Rockets retained 6 forwards: Durant, Ethan, White Devils, Jerry Jr., Finney Smith, and Amen Thompson. The average height of these six big forwards is quite terrifying.

According to the latest news from Kelly Ico, Durant, who is 2.11 meters tall next season, will be regarded as a "scoring guard". Uduka believes that Durant's top priority is to score. The Rockets can allow Durant to play SG because of their size advantage.

In order to allow Durant and Capela to join successfully, the Rockets have cut Landale's salary of 8 million next season, and the Rockets' 15-man roster is also on the way.
