New team

He is now on the Rockets. Put that on the article. And no, don't say that the new league year hasn't begun so you can't do it, you changed the team for him. 2600:1700:C9A0:2040:77CF:FA09:2429:44B6 (talk) 19:42, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Deal is not official until the new league year in July. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:49, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Desmond Bane was traded for people that still had a year left on their contract which you can do after both teams involved finish their season

Kevin Durant is being traded for Jalen Green, who is a rookie contract getting extended in 2025. You cannot trade those until after July 6

It's the same reason why the Deni Avdija trade went through immediately last year. 71.115.229.29 (talk) 16:47, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An extended rookie is technically a sign and trade 71.115.229.29 (talk) 16:49, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

fine, your right. 2600:1700:C9A0:2040:4E4A:70C4:1927:CF58 (talk) 21:31, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
