The Rockets successfully cut prices, but the Suns can no longer hold it in

Recently, the US media Houston Chronicle revealed that the Suns have contacted the Rockets many times regarding Durant's transaction and hope to return to the Rockets' Suns draft pick. At present, the Suns have made a statement that they only want to return to the Suns draft pick among the Rockets, and have not mentioned a word about the Rockets' Seven Sons. The Rockets' reply was that Durant's age was not in line with the team's long-term development.

To be honest, if Durant does not consider his age, he is indeed the most in line with the Rockets' tactical style. The Rockets have completely kept the Suns firmly under their feet. From the price of young players and draft picks at the beginning of the offseason, they have now become just trying to return to draft picks. It can be said that the Rockets have successfully lowered the price completely. At the moment, the draft is getting closer and closer, and the Suns are likely to be unable to hold it in. Perhaps the Suns will eventually directly ask for two players with expired contracts + the 10th pick in 2025 + the 2027 first-round draft pick to pray for the Rockets' consent.

I have to say that Rockets manager Stone is now a fool and has been lucky enough to make a fool of himself. In recent years, many trades and drafts have been unintentionally planted.
