Houston got a good thing building, I wouldn?t trade for Durant..his contract, age & injuries..Giannis be interesting but I wouldn?t give up the farm for him
C/PF-Horford, Baynes, Noel, Theis, Morris,
SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin

Phoenix isn?t trading KD for Smith Jr and a couple of firsts. They gave up a whole lot more to get him and Durant is still playing at a high level.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:
Quote
At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Durant is turning 37 in September and is on an expiring deal. He can essentially pick his own team by saying I will not be re-signing with you.

Those picks would be worth gold for the Suns front office because they get control of their own draft equity again (at least for the short term).

i'd just do the Giannis part of it if i were HOU.

HOU gets: Giannis
MIL gets: Sengun, Sheppard, Whitmore, 9th pick, 2027 Suns pick

Giannis
SmithJr.
Thompson
Green
FVV

with Eason, Brooks, Adams off bench.

Makes them way better...but still not as good as OKC.

That is the point.

To win the title they have to go through Oklahoma.

Okc may get the title this year as is but I?d be really tempted to swap Holmgren for Giannis and add as little quality as possible to make the money work. It?s a great start to get Chet if Giannis wants out . Clear upgrade for Okc . Giannis can?t hit the 3 but everything else is superior.
