Kevin Durant Trade to Houston Sets New NBA Record-Breaking Deal

On Sunday, the NBA officially confirmed the first seven-team trade in league history, with full terms revealed by Shams Charania and described as historic by The Athletic.
Following the league’s end of the free agency embargo, teams combined pre-arranged deals into a historic seven-team trade to manage salary caps and avoid luxury tax, expanding from the initial Durant blockbuster.
Seven clubs exchanged six veterans, 13 draft picks, and cash; the Rockets received Durant and Capela, while the Suns acquired Green, Brooks, and four rookies plus a pick.
Over the 2025-26 season, Durant's salary will count toward the cap, and at age 37, he remains a leading offensive player for Houston.
