Rockets expressed their gratitude to Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks. The Rockets were able to play second in the Western Conference last season, and Jaylen Green and Dillon both contributed.

Jaylen Green averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in the regular season last season, shooting percentage of 42.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 35.4%, and free throw shooting percentage of 81.3%.

Dillon averaged 14 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in the regular season last season, shooting 42.9%, three-point shooting percentage 39.7%, and free throw shooting percentage 81.8%.

The Rockets were eliminated early in the playoffs, revealing the problem that no one can score at critical moments. Jaylen Green was timid in the playoffs for the first time, which disappointed the fans. As a player with eight years of NBA experience, Dillon did not handle the details of the game well and played recklessly, which was equivalent to giving assists to his opponents. It is not surprising that Jaylen Green and Dillon were sent away as trading chips.

7 teams participated, and the Rockets 11 for 2 trade was officially announced.

The Rockets sent Jaylen Green, Dillon, 2025 No. 10 picks, 5 second round picks, one second round pick swap rights, David Roddy and some cash, and got Durant and Capela.

Among them Jaylen Green and Dillon went to the Sun, and David Roddy went to the Eagles.

Durant is the player that Rockets head coach Uduka wants, and although he will turn 37 next season, he is still a weapon on the offensive end. Durant played 170 playoff games in his NBA career, averaging 40 minutes per game to score 29.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1 steal and 1.2 caps, shooting percentage of 47.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 35.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 86.8%. Durant's joining can solve the Rockets' problems on the offensive end, and Uduka needs him very much.

Durant has officially become a member of the Rockets, and Durant said through social media: "My time at Phoenix is ​​over. Every stop in this journey has affected me in a positive way. I feel honored to be a member of this big family whenever I really believe that the NBA is a big family. Love for Arizona. Houston, I can't wait!

Rockets official welcomes Durant and also welcomes Capela back.

Jersey reporter Etienne Catalan revealed that Capela will wear the No. 21 jersey in Houston.

Capela missed the chance to wear the No. 15 jersey he liked. Currently this number belongs to Shepard. Shepard should not be willing to give up the No. 15 jersey, which means a lot to him.

Shepard revealed in an interview last year that my father used to be No. 15, and I was No. 3 in high school. After I arrived at the University of Kentucky, I put on my dad's previous jersey.

Jaylen Green wanted to wear No. 4 jersey, but House refused to give it to him. In the end, Jaylen Green chose to wear No. 0 jersey for the time being After House left, he put on the No. 4 jersey as he wished.

Rockets No. 21 jersey originally belonged to David Roddy, and the number was also empty after he left.

David Roddy was sent away as a bargaining chip to match his salary. He signed a two-way contract with the Rockets last season and spent most of his time playing in the Development League. Also a striker who is less than 2 meters tall and poor three-point shooting, Tate is more worthy of Uduka than Roddy because the former has defense. Although Roddy is only 24 years old, he has no hope. It is worth mentioning that Roddy once played in the Hawks, and he will not feel strange when he goes there.
