Durant at 36 is still a plug and play scorer. Green was never gonna be that guy. Houston wants to win now but what are the suns doing? Is this supposed to be a rebuild or a reload? Green book and Beal is a disgusting backcourt to have in this era.

[QUOTE=StrongLurk;15016421]Great pickup for the Rockets as long as Durant stays healthy.
Green is clearly not going to amount to an actual impact player in the playoffs, Brooks is mid, and they didn't give too many big picks away.[/QUOTE]
Both Green & Brooks are inconsistent. Brooks is a bum on a bad contract. Big W for Houston, even if Durant is old.

:lol
[QUOTE=GOBB;15016430]Terrible deal for the suns. They back where they started last season only worst. Beal has a no trade clause so you’re handicapped where he can go. Booker is the best value piece on the team. Suns might as well blow it up.
Meanwhile Houston upgrades over Jalen Green, creates room for young players by getting rid of Brooks (and his contract). And if the #10 picks turns into an all nba player it won’t be within the next 3 years. Just get Durant to sign an extension for 2 years. Roll the ball out and let’s hoop.
2nd rd picks? Blah, throw ins for trades like that. Durant 50-40-80 club. 27ppg, vet. Love it[/QUOTE]
i don't understand what the end goal is for booker. waste his prime in phx? do the suns want to hold on to the only player that can sell season tickets? because he sure as hell is not leading this team to the playoffs.

Brooks was the ‘glue guy’ so it seemed like a sacrifice but Rockets got a lot of potential glue guys, roughneck defenders in the bag with amen, tari and Jabari. This was good upgrade for Houston. Chip windows are so small these days.
[QUOTE=Meticode;15016429]Suns should be trying to trade Beal too if he lets them.[/QUOTE]
He would be gone if he je would
Not quite the 1st round package you envisioned for the old man
[QUOTE=Im Still Ballin;15016423]What's the best lineup?
FVV
Amen
Eason
Durant
Adams

Amen
Durant
Sengun

That 2nd one would be nasty.
The main thing the Rockets lacked was go to superstar scorer... if Durant is healthy thats fixed.

If he's healthy, Rockets should be a contender. It's just that he never seems to be healthy when it matters...
Houston giving up on J Green already? Damn Houston fans were telling me he was gonna be better than Harden.
HOU was +0.8 off and -3.7 def this season. I think they can reach +2-3 off and -3-4 def next season. So, +5 to +7 SRS range. Contender status but behind a few teams.
Thunder should still be easily better. Durant isn't washed but he's not the type to carry a team for a who ke season anymore. When he plays him and Sengun should be difficult but he is likely to miss a lot of games.
Rockets with the huge upgrade, swapped a bag of shit for KD..
Add a few vets for the bench and they’ll be in a great spot for next season

Golden State exposed him. Hes mid. KD is like a top 25 GOAT.
Dont hate it
Swamplando gave up FIVE firsts for Bane
