Kevin Durant Traded to Rockets in Massive Deal with Suns
Kevin Durant’s move to Houston boosts Rockets’ title hopes, while Cowboys’ linebacker Micah Parsons stirs speculation amid contract talks and possible NFC East rivalry switch.
NBA superstar Kevin Durant has once again sparked headlines — not only for his blockbuster move to Houston but also for dropping a surprise hint about the NFL future of Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons. During a public appearance, Durant teased the possibility of Parsons someday wearing a Washington Commanders uniform, a scenario that would send shockwaves through Cowboys Nation.
Off the court, Durant is finalizing a high-impact trade that sends him to the Houston Rockets. The reported deal involves multiple pieces including rising guard Jalen Green, versatile wing Dillon Brooks, the 10th overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft, and several future second-round picks. The transaction is expected to be formalized after the league’s moratorium period in July.
Durant expressed excitement over the trade being revealed while he was on stage in front of fans, calling it perfect timing. Now set to join a young but talented core in Houston — including Alperen Sengun, Fred VanVleet, Amen Thompson, and Jabari Smith Jr. — the Rockets are emerging as serious contenders for the upcoming season. Despite being in his late 30s, Durant continues to perform at an elite level, putting up strong numbers across the board.
While Durant’s future looks bright in Houston, uncertainty clouds Micah Parsons’ situation in Dallas. The All-Pro linebacker is reportedly targeting a record-setting contract, potentially exceeding $40 million annually. With team owner Jerry Jones hesitating to commit, rumors are growing that Parsons may hold out from training camp if progress stalls.
If negotiations fail, Durant’s playful prediction could turn serious. Losing a talent like Parsons to a division rival would be a massive blow to the Cowboys, especially as they prepare to open their 2025-26 season on the road against the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
The NFC East clash on September 4 will be more than a season opener — it could be a statement game for a Dallas team still searching for its first Super Bowl appearance since the 1990s.
