Katz reported Wednesday that the Rockets and Suns are working on expanding the trade that would involve an NBA-record seven teams.
While a deal is not imminent, Katz added that the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Los Angels Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves are involved in trade discussions. As part of the trade, the Hawks would send Clint Capela to the Rockets in a sign-and-trade.
Katz said that most of the recognizable names involved in a potential seven-team trade, including Durant, Capela, Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green, have been agreed to and reported but not yet finalized.
The previous record for most teams involved in a trade in NBA history was in 2024 when the Warriors traded Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks in a deal that involved six teams.
