7 for 1! 4 first round! Durant joins the Rockets chips exposed! Finale?

Early, Sun reporter Duane Rankin reported that Durant will be sent away by the sun in the next few days, and the transaction will be completed as early as next week. The Suns hope to send out KD before the draft to get a draft pick to acquire more assets for their future.

Shams said today that in the past 24 hours, the Rockets, Heat and Timberwolves were the Rockets, Heat and Timberwolves. From the Phoenix Suns' initiative to propose trade negotiations to Durant himself publicly expressing his "interest in the Rockets", the whereabouts of the four-time scoring champion are stirring up the entire NBA's summer break. According to reports, the Rockets are willing to send Jaylen Green to Phoenix, and the Suns are also conducting background checks on the former second-tier. Shams predicts that if the negotiations between the two sides are successful, the expected chips will be:

Rockets get: Durant

Suns get: Jaylen Green, Reed Shepard, Smith Jr., two first-round picks, two first-round picks swap rights.

Green's departure from the Rockets fans may be relieved, but if Smith Jr. is gone, the team's defensive resources will definitely be greatly reduced. Perhaps the Rockets would not let Ethan go so easily, and the Rockets' two first-round picks are from the Suns, which is why the Suns have always wanted to make a trade attempt with the Rockets, and the Suns have always hoped to get their picks back. Joining the Rockets is definitely the best choice for KD, and it can quickly reach the championship level. Durant, 36, averaged 26.6 points per game last season, shooting 52.7% from the field and 43% from three-point shooting percentage, and remains one of the league's most deadly scorers. For the Rockets, who was second in the Western Conference last season, Durant's addition is tantamount to "precision reinforcement" - the team lacks the final decision at critical moments, and his singles ability and playoff experience are the scarce resources to hit the championship. Moreover, Durant's shooting ability is also what this Rocket urgently needs now.

The Rockets were eliminated in the first round of the West, which is also the reason why Uduka urgently needs a superstar. The upper limit of the star will determine the upper limit of a team. Perhaps with Durant's Rockets, they may perform better this season.

As The Athletic commented: "Durant can make the Rockets jump from a playoff team to a favorite to win the championship."
