Send Durant and take Jaylen Green! The sun is swollen!

Recently, the heat of rumors about Kevin Durant's trading with the Rockets has soared. According to HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto, the Rockets and the Suns have negotiated many times around the Durant trade. As the Rockets stick to the bottom line between Amen Thompson and Alperen Shinkyung, Jaylen Green is involved in the trading vortex and becomes a key bargaining chip.

The Suns are aiming to rebuild with Booker and Bill as the core of the backcourt. The management firmly believes that sending off Durant can unleash Bill's strength. Once Green enters the trade, the Sun has begun to explore its potential next home and has set a backhand to evaluate the value of the deal, planning to trade it for a second time.

Green's performance this season is obviously polarized. He attended 82 games in the regular season, averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 35.4%, and his offensive firepower was good; but in the playoffs, his form dropped sharply, averaging only 13.3 points per game, shooting percentage of 37.2%, and three-point shooting percentage of 29.5%, and his performance on both offense and defense was difficult to satisfy. His salary for the 2025-2026 season of $33.33 million, accounting for 17.7% of the Suns’ estimated salary space, is controversial in the value of the transaction.

In the trading negotiations, the Rockets proposed a offer to match Green with other players and draft picks, but the Suns were not satisfied. At the same time, the Spurs, Timberwolves and other teams are also eyeing Durant. With more young assets and first-round picks, they may be more attractive to the Suns.
