June 23 According to ESPN's famous reporter Shams Charania, several sources revealed that Durant was traded to the Rockets, and the Suns received Jaylen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in 2025 and 5 second round picks.

After subsequent reports from many reporters, the five second round picks obtained by the Suns are: the 2025 Rockets' No. 59 draw, the 2026 Rockets' two second round picks, the 2030 Celtics' second round pick and the 2032 Rockets' second round pick.

Yahoo Sports reporter Kevin O 'Connor took stock of the Rockets' draft assets after Durant's trade. He wrote on social media:

The Rockets will still have the following first-round picks in the future:

2027 first-round pick (from the Suns);

2027 first-round pick with the Nets with a higher pick;

2028 first-round pick (self)

2029 The first round pick (the two with the highest picks among the Mavericks, Suns and themselves)

The first round pick in 2030 (self)

The first round pick in 2031 (self)

The first round pick in 2032 (self)

This means (the Rockets) have up to 5 first round picks that can be traded (the first round picks in 2028, 2030 and 2032, one in 2027 and 2029 each), plus draft pick swap rights. Considering the young players in the team's team, the Rockets can use their extremely creative trading strategies to target more players.

Kevin O 'Connor then retweeted his tweet and wrote: "Even after getting Durant, the Rockets still have enough assets to provide attractive offers for Antetokounmpo, Jaylen Brown or basically any target player they want."
