The pattern is fully revealed! The key to the 7-party transaction of Durant is reached

The largest seven-party deal in NBA history has finally settled, and in this super deal involving the Rockets, Suns, Hawks, Nets, Warriors, Lakers and Timberwolves, a key detail has surfaced - Jaylen Green voluntarily gave up the $6.43 million trading margin to finally complete the deal!

According to a reporter from Rockets, Green was originally entitled to a $6.93 million transaction margin (10% of the contract), but if he insisted on collecting it in full, the 7-party transaction would not be reached due to the salary matching rules. In the end, Green chose to give up 6.43 million of them and retain only $500,000 to ensure Durant's successful joining the Rockets.

This decision demonstrates Green's extremely high professional attitude. Although he played for the Rockets for four years, averaging 20.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, the team still chose to use him as a bargaining chip for Durant. Not only did Green not complain, he took the initiative to make concessions and helped his old boss complete strengthening. After

is traded to the Suns, Green will form a new backcourt combination with Devin Booker and Bradley Beal (if not bought out). Even though the Suns' backcourt is already very crowded, Green still has a chance to prove himself. Last season, he averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists per game, and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.4%. If he can improve his efficiency, he is still expected to gain a foothold in Phoenix.

However, the Sun's salary structure is already very tight. Booker's salary will reach 320 million in the next five years. If Bill buys out, he still occupies 20 million space. Green's contract for 33.3 million in 2025-26 also puts the Suns under huge salary pressure. Therefore, Green needs to play highlights within a limited time, otherwise it may become a bargaining chip again. The

Rockets are undoubtedly the biggest winner in this deal. They sent Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in 2025 and multiple second round picks, in exchange for Durant and Capela, and directly entered the championship ranks.

However, Green was once the core of the Rockets' reconstruction, and the second-tier show in 2021 was highly expected. Unfortunately, in the playoffs last season, he averaged only 13.3 points per game and shot 37.2%, completely making the management lose patience. Now, his sacrifice allows the Rockets to get Durant as they wish, and he himself needs to re-prove his value in the Suns.

Give up 6.43 million in trading margin, and Green showed the pattern of a professional player. Despite being traded, he still puts the team's interests first and ensures that the transaction is completed smoothly. Now, he will face new challenges in the Suns, while the Rockets will strive for the championship with all their might.

The 7-party transaction may change the future direction of many teams!
