On June 15, according to the latest news, although the Rockets have a chance to get the Suns forward Durant, it seems that they are not the team that is most likely to get Durant. Because according to the latest news, the Timberwolves and the Heat are in the lead in the competition for Durant. Although the Rockets are also on the potential trading list, the Rockets do not intend to use too many chips to exchange for Durant. The Rockets are actually the team that provides the most bargaining chips among these teams. Not only do they have first-round picks for the Suns in 25, 27 and 29 years, but they also have seven talented young players on the Rockets, as well as some veterans and expiring contracts. However, the Rockets seem to have been very cautious, and the 36-year-old Durant is not the Rockets' long-term plan. Even if Durant's condition can remain good, the Rockets' championship window will only last at most 2-3 years. In that case, the timeline between these young players of the Rockets and Durant is completely out of the same pace. Therefore, the Rockets are very cautious when dealing with transactions. According to Rockets' team reporter Kelly Iko, some league sources revealed that the Rockets' power forward Smith Jr., center Alperen Shinkin and shooting guard Jaylen Green, the names of the three of them are related to the Durant deal. In other words, the Suns are very interested in the Rockets' three new stars, and they are asking Houston for three new stars! It is feasible for the Suns to exchange Durant for three new stars or one or two of them.

After all, if the Suns cannot completely regain their three first-round picks, it is also a pretty good choice to dig up one or two of the three new stars of the Rockets. After all, Shin Kyung has proved himself in the regular season and playoffs. Jaylen Green's regular season performance is pretty good. Although Smith Jr.'s data is average, he just lacks the ball in the Rockets. If he goes to the Suns, Smith Jr. will get more ball rights and shooting opportunities outside Booker, and I believe his performance, confidence and data will increase significantly.

According to the latest news reports, the Rockets do not seem to intend to give their new star to the Phoenix Suns. Because the Rockets have always been reserved about breaking up the current lineup depth, even if the opponent is a superstar like Durant. Considering Durant's 36-year-old age and his injury experience, the Rockets are now particularly cautious. Their general manager does not intend to use a lot of chips to use Soha Durant in the end. Maintaining the current lineup depth may be more stable and reasonable.

After all, Durant is not 26 years old now, but 36 years old. The Rockets cannot put all the chips that won the championship on Durant, which is also the reason why the Rockets have been unable to complete the transaction. Judging from the cautious attitude of Rockets general manager Stone, the Rockets seem to find it difficult to complete such a big deal, which is also an important reason why the Timberwolves and the Heat can lead the Durant battle.
