The Phoenix Suns reportedly have a clear plan in place regarding Jalen Green after acquiring him from the Houston Rockets in the Kevin Durant trade.

After what proved to be Jalen Green's final game with the Rockets, the young star bluntly said he played "like straight s---." Now, he'll be playing elsewhere.

Green was a logical candidate to get dealt to Phoenix in a trade for Durant because of his salary and potential upside. The former No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft signed a unique contract extension with the Rockets last offseason: a three-year, $106 million deal with a player option after the second season.
