Jalen Green isn't letting Houston off the hook for trading him. 

After four years with the Rockets the guard is moving on to Phoenix and he released a farewell column in the Players Tribune where he kept it honest with fans.

"H-Town, thank you for everything!!!! When I drop 30 on y’all next season, remember the good times," Green tweeted when posting his piece 'A Few Words From the Heart to H-Town.' 

The guard was composed during the article, expressing that he understands the business side of things and wants to build a winning reputation with his new team. 

Green has an edge and will have chances to show Houston it was a mistake to let him go. 

The guard averaged 20.1 points per game through his career with the Rockets. The Suns will be his second team and a chance to prove his critics wrong. 

On the other side of the trade, Kevin Durant is the new asset in Houston and fans are hoping he will be an upgrade on Green as a scorer.

Suns-Rockets matchups this season could be appointment television.
