On June 14, Durant's next home battle may be about to end, and it is basically a foregone conclusion that he leaves the Suns and joins other teams. The Suns are ranked 11th in the Western Conference this season and have failed to enter the playoffs. For the Suns management, this team pays the most expensive luxury tax in the NBA, but has not even found the playoff threshold, which is really disappointing. Therefore, the Suns decided to start the reconstruction mode - the so-called reconstruction mode is to send away some players in the team, exchange them for some future assets to help with reconstruction, and also take the initiative to play badly and lose!
In the next few years, the Suns will likely play wildly, trying to enrich the team's lineup with more high-level draft picks. In addition to the team's superstar Devin Booker, the Suns may rise again in a few years, just like the Rockets back then. The Rockets were in poor shape for three consecutive years under the leadership of Silas and accumulated a large number of high-quality rookies; and in Harden's trade, the Rockets won many draft picks and draft picks exchange rights - this was also the last "assist" that Harden gave to the Rockets. Today, the Rockets have become the top team in the West, but they still lack a superstar from the championship.
Currently, the Rockets have joined Durant's battle. With Antetokounmpo likely to stay with the Bucks, Durant has become a "hot commodity" in the league's trading market. Previously, it was reported that the Spurs, Rockets, Knicks, Heat and Timberwolves are Durant's potential five next homes. Although other teams have also asked the Suns for the price, they are not sincere and have enough chips. However, according to the latest news, the Spurs and the Knicks seem to be out of the Durant battle.
SHAMS reports that Durant is likely to be traded within a week, or even in the next few days. Although 6 to 8 teams have had contact with the Suns, the only teams that are truly at the center of Durant's trading discussion are the Rockets, Timberwolves and Heat in the past 24 to 48 hours, according to the famous reporter. In other words, although the Spurs are interested in getting Durant, the Suns seem to be less interested; the Knicks are more like "playing soy sauce", and it is difficult to get Durant. Therefore, the Rockets, Heat and Timberwolves stood out in the Durant battle.
KD will change teams within the latest week. Although it is not sure whether it will be obtained by the Rockets, the Rockets have a lot of bargaining chips, especially in their hands, they still have the three future first-round picks for the Suns - a fact that the Suns cannot ignore. If the Suns want to complete the reconstruction, they must take back their draft picks from the Rockets. Otherwise, even if they are crazy, they will only be "making a wedding dress" for the Houston Rockets.
Therefore, for reason, the Suns need to exchange Durant for the draft pick in the hands of the Rockets. While three teams stood out in the Durant battle, the Rockets are clearly the team that is most likely to get Durant. Once the Rockets win Durant, they will truly be one of the strong contenders for the championship next season.
