According to ESPN famous reporter Shams, the Rockets and the Suns' big deal around Durant broke the record. This is the first time that a seven-team trade has appeared in NBA history, breaking the 6-team trade record held by Clay before and setting the deal with the largest number of teams in the NBA.

The specific transaction content is as follows:

Durant changed to wear No. 7

After the transaction was officially concluded, Durant's agent and business partner Ritchie Kleiman revealed in an interview that Durant will wear No. 7 jersey after joining the Rockets.

This is the number he wore when he was with the Nets and the U.S. National Team. Durant wore the No. 35 jersey when playing for the Thunder, the Warriors and the Suns.

It is worth mentioning that the Rockets' last No. 7 jersey player was Whitmore, who left the team not long ago through a trade.

Capela, who returned to Houston through the same transaction, will wear the No. 21 jersey.

As the first round pick selected by the Rockets with the No. 25 pick in 2014, Capela has played for the Rockets for 6 seasons and has been wearing the No. 15 jersey during this period.

Before Capela, the Rockets No. 21 jersey player was David Rody of the two-way contract, who was sent to the Hawks in the trade.
