Kevin Durant reacts to knowing he's headed to Houston during the Fanatics Fest

Kevin Durant was one of the renowned athletes attending the Fanatics Fest NYC held at the Javits Center in Midtown Manhattan. During his time at the convention, the two-time NBA Finals MVP participated in a boardroom interview.

However, the host interrupted the interview midway to inform Durant that he was headed to the Houston Rockets. The crowd in attendance cheered upon hearing the news while Durant was seen smiling.

The host then asked the two-time Finals MVP for his thoughts on the trade, and he had a simple response.

"We're gonna see," Durant said.

Kevin Durant had a great individual run with the Suns this season. He averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists on 52.7% shooting from the field. While the Suns failed to make the playoffs this season, the Rockets dominated the Western Conference and ended their season as the second team on the table.

However, the Warriors gave them an early exit in the playoffs by knocking them out in the first round. Adding Durant to their lineup might be the boost they need to make a deep playoff run next season.
