Kevin Durant switched teams again and landed with the Houston Rockets after leaving Phoenix. The basketball superstar made the move as part of a massive trade that broke NBA records. Seven different teams joined forces to make this deal happen. The trade involved 13 players moving around and several future draft picks changing hands. League officials confirmed everything became official when the new season started.

Durant posted messages on social media about leaving Arizona behind for Texas. The 36-year-old player thanked Phoenix fans and said he felt excited about joining Houston. He won two championships with Golden State and earned MVP honors back in 2014. The veteran also captured four Olympic gold medals representing Team USA. His career total reached 30,000 points during his time with the Suns.

Houston coach Ime Udoka praised Durant for his skills and basketball knowledge. The Rockets finished second place last season but lost early during playoff time. Phoenix general manager Brian Gregory wished Durant well as he starts fresh somewhere else. Atlanta sent Swiss center Clint Capela back to Houston where his career first began. The Suns received several young players and future picks as compensation for their star player.
