The Houston Rockets have landed a haul of draft picks from the Brooklyn Nets in pursuit of a trade involving Kevin Durant.
The NBA offseason is warming up. Just minutes after the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks completed a shocking blockbuster deal for star two-way forward Mikal Bridges, the Nets completed a deal involving several draft picks with the Houston Rockets, per a report from ESPN. Houston acquired a 2027 first-round pick from the Nets in exchange for Brooklyn's original 2026 pick. The Rockets also acquired the right to swap the team's 2025 first-rounder for a 2025 Suns first-rounder.
According to ESPN, the Rockets made the deal with the pursuit of several top stars in mind, including Durant himself. Houston reportedly would be open to send a massive haul of picks, including some of the ones they just acquired from Durant's former team, to Phoenix in exchange for the 35-year-old superstar. But Phoenix has stood pat on any potential Durant talks, per ESPN, voicing its intentions to run it back the trio of Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal next season.
