Jalen Green was the major asset the Phoenix Suns brought back in the Kevin Durant deal, but he could be re-routed to one of these five best destinations if the package lines up.

An hour before the Kevin Durant trade was announced, The Athletic reports that Jalen Green received word from the Rockets that he was in the deal.

Jalen Green blitzed Golden State for 38 points on 13-of-25 shooting in leading Houston to a Game 2 win in the first round of the 2025 playoffs, showing why he’s an All-Star talent. Then he managed just 48 points in the next five games of the series that the Warriors took in seven over the Rockets.
