Durant, who won two championships with the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018 and was named the Finals MVP both years, knows how to win when the stakes are highest and should make a team that was eliminated in the first-round of the playoffs this year a big threat going forward.

The 2025 offseason is fast approaching, and deals are already getting done. On the last day of the 2025 NBA season, the Phoenix Suns traded MVP Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks along with a pick in the upcoming draft and five second-round picks.
