At the beginning of the NBA offseason, the biggest move of the summer occurred. The Houston Rockets traded Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Kevin Durant in a deal involving 7 teams.
The major change, apart from Durant joining the Rockets, was Green moving to the Suns. The 2021 NBA Draft's 2nd pick had been a key player for Houston, but his offensive inconsistency had kept him in the NBA rumors spotlight for a long time.
In statements reported by the Houston Chronicle, Green revealed that he had foreseen being traded by the Rockets sooner or later:
"I had a feeling. They had been trying to trade me since last year. It doesn't bother me. It's for the good of the team. I know that, ultimately, it's a business. I can't control how I feel. Whatever happens, will happen. In the end, I still have the opportunity to play basketball," he stated.
