Trades

July 6, 2025[4][5][6]	Seven–team trade
	To Houston Rockets Kevin Durant (from Phoenix) Clint Capela (sign-and-trade deal from Atlanta)	To Atlanta Hawks David Roddy (from Houston) Rights to swap 2031 second-round pick with Houston Cash Considerations (from Houston)
	To Golden State Warriors Draft rights to Alex Toohey (No. 52) [from Phoenix] Draft rights to Jahmai Mashack (No. 59) [from Houston]	To Minnesota Timberwolves Draft rights to Rocco Zikarsky (No. 45) [from L.A. Lakers] 2026 second-round pick (from Denver or Golden State via Phoenix)[I] Most favorable 2032 second-round pick between Houston and Phoenix[II] Cash Considerations (from L.A. Lakers)
	To Los Angeles Lakers Draft rights to Adou Thiero (No. 36) [from Brooklyn] Cash Considerations (from Brooklyn)	To Brooklyn Nets 2026 second-round pick (from Boston, Indiana, the L.A. Clippers, or Miami via Houston)[III] 2030 second-round pick (from Boston via Houston)
	To Phoenix Suns Jalen Green (from Houston) Dillon Brooks (from Houston) Daeqwon Plowden (two-way contract from Atlanta) Draft rights to Khaman Maluach (No. 10) [from Houston] Draft rights to Rasheer Fleming (No. 31) [from Minnesota] Draft rights to Koby Brea (No. 41) [from Golden State] 2026 second-round pick (from Dallas, Oklahoma City, or Philadelphia via Houson)[IV] Least favorable 2032 second-round pick between Houston and Minnesota[II]
July 6, 2025[7]	To Minnesota Timberwolves 2027 second-round draft pick (from Cleveland) Cash considerations	To Atlanta Hawks Nickeil Alexander-Walker (sign-and-trade)

^ I: The 2026 second-round pick that originally would be going to Phoenix before sent to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the seven-team mega-trade would either be the lesser 2026 NBA draft selection previously held by the Denver Nuggets due to a previous trade the Suns made with Charlotte earlier in the year back in their previous season of play or by the Golden State Warriors through multiple trades on their end.
^ II: The 2032 second-round pick that would be sent to Minnesota will be the selection that's considered the higher selection between Houston and Phoenix, while the Suns would keep the lesser of the second-round picks between the Rockets and Timberwolves. As such, if the Suns have a worse record by 2032 than Houston, the trade would effectively be the Suns getting the worst selection between the Timberwolves and Rockets, while Houston sends out the Suns' second-round pick that year out to Minnesota alongside the Timberwolves keeping the remaining second-round pick of the three teams instead. However, if the Rockets hold a better record than the Suns by 2032, then Houston would send Phoenix's second-round pick either right back to the Suns or out to the Timberwolves (depending on which team between them had the better overall record by that year), while Minnesota would have both of the remaining second-round picks between the three teams instead.
^ III: Due to another trade the Brooklyn Nets made with the Memphis Grizzlies (thus making the transaction more complex to cover efficiently due to the amount of previous trades involved before this one (including a previous deal involving the Suns, funnily enough)), the Nets will receive either the Los Angeles Clippers' own 2026 second-round pick without any stipulations involved with it or one of the second-round picks that was originally held by either the Boston Celtics, Indiana Pacers, or Miami Heat, depending on which option is the least favorable amongst the four teams for this season of play.
^ IV: Due to multiple trades that involved the Houston Rockets before the massive deal that the Suns made, the Rockets will give Phoenix the middle-valued draft pick in the 2026 NBA draft (with the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder getting the most valuable of the upcoming selections and the San Antonio Spurs getting the least valuable of the upcoming selections by a different trade involving them) between the Dallas Mavericks, the defending-champion Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Philadelphia 76ers.
