Kevin Durant's trade to Rockets becomes historic 7-team deal reshaping NBA landscape

Paul Pierce reacts to Kevin Durant’s emotional comments about feeling unwanted by Phoenix Suns fans. Paul weighs in on whether KD deserves sympathy.

Kevin Durant is heading to the Houston Rockets, but if you’re wondering why it took so long, it’s reportedly due to a historic, seven-team trade that shook up many rosters. 

It’s not just the Phoenix Suns and Rockets involved in the deal. The Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves are all involved in what is the NBA’s first-ever trade involving seven teams. 

Here is what each team is receiving in the deal, per ESPN:

- Suns: Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Khaman Maluach, Rasheer Fleming, Koby Brea, Daeqwon Plowden, second-round pick. 

- Rockets: Kevin Durant, Clint Capela

- Nets: two second-round picks

- Warriors: Alex Toohey, Jahmai Mashack

- Hawks: second-round pick swap, David Roddy, cash considerations

- Lakers: Adou Thiero

- Timberwolves: Rocco Zikarsky, two second-round picks, cash considerations

Durant, though, is the obvious crux of this deal, as the Rockets get the 15-time All-Star on their starting five alongside a good group of Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr. and Fred VanVleet.
