Involved in the deal: Phoenix, Houston, Atlanta, Minnesota, Golden State, Brooklyn and the Los Angeles Lakers. It includes a total of 13 players — the headline moves include Durant going to Houston from Phoenix, the Rockets sending Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks to the Suns, and the Rockets acquiring Clint Capela from the Hawks.

New Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant's tenure with the Suns began with promise, and contained a lot of scoring—his 26.8 points per game broke a franchise record that had stood for half a century. But not even Durant could overcome the construction of a top-heavy roster, and so Phoenix will begin again.
