The Hawks are one of 7 teams involved in a trade involving multiple players that will enable the Houston Rockets to end up with Kevin Durant. By taking part in the trade, Atlanta agreed to a contract with center Clint Capela and then sent Capela to the Rockets. The Hawks also sent two-way guard/forward Daeqwon Plowdon to the Phoenix Suns.

Superstar Kevin Durant is headed from the Phoenix Suns to Houston as part of an NBA-record seven-team deal, the Rockets confirmed on Sunday.

NBA champion Kevin Durant has found himself at the centre of mind-boggling trade that will see the star uprooted and shipped off to Houston. It seems only fitting that the complex Kevin Durant headlined the most complex trade in NBA history.
