Monday’s press conference was the first interview for Rockets general manager Rafael Stone since his blockbuster trade acquisition of Kevin Durant.

Even though it's been two weeks since the Phoenix Suns traded star forward Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets, the official terms of the deal were slow to be released.
