PHOENIX — Phoenix Suns fans are unhappy with Kevin Durant being traded to the Houston Rockets and are skeptical of what the team is receiving in return.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Sunday that the Suns will trade Kevin Durant to the Rockets for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in this year’s draft and five second-rounders.
Suns fans took to social media to share their frustration with the team and how they envision their future.

The destruction of the Phoenix Suns roster and asset base over the last 3+ years is hard to fathom. Arguably the worst future outlook in the NBA too.

I have no faith that current Phoenix Suns management can build a good NBA team.

The Phoenix suns are a prime example of what NOT to do after getting to the finals

Kevin Durant gutted the suns entire asset stash, won zero playoff games and then sabotaged them one last time by refusing to play in Minnesota forcing the Suns to take a horrible return for him

Jalen green is not a young star, he wasn’t even the best rocket on the team https://t.co/OReGeTsqad

Jalen Green with Devin Booker and Bradley Beal has to be the worst lineup I’ve ever seen ????
Kevin Durant being traded to the Houston Rockets, I have no clue how that’s gonna work either ????????
