If we trade any important future assets for KD, I am definitely viewing it as a championship or bust, right or wrong
When Stone has repeatedly said they are not moving one of their core players right now, we have to take him at his word.
Heat has better chance than GSW. But nah, not happening. If KD wants guaranteed championship then he needs to force his way to Thunder or Nuggets.
Kicking can down the road strategy. Stone was great for rebuild but can he successfully shift into championship mindset? Current Rockets are not built for winning in postseason. Udoka cannot make wagyu out of chicken, no matter what Udoka thinks about more effort + execution.
If PHX trades Butler for KD (other pieces ignored) does this help our hurt our future picks? Probably more important, does this improve our chances at Booker?
