    If we spit 10s, we just changed our odds of winning the hand from a little over 70% to just over 60%. Of course, we don't know what the dealer is showing.

    18:22 MacMahon: “The Rockets are trying to build a long-term sustainable contender so if the Suns blow up, I’d look towards Devin Booker before Kevin Durant.”

    21:52 Windhorst: “I’m gonna state a couple of facts. If you think they’re not facts, correct me. 1) Houston wants to get better immediately. They’re not looking for holding draft picks. MacMahon: Want to, yes. Desperate to, no. Windhorst: Durant has a relationship with Ime Udoka and one of his closest friends in the league is Royal Ivey, Rockets assistant coach.

    30:41 MacMahon: I’m not sure it’s the last trade we’ve seen involving the Houston Rockets.

    I agree with the previous poster who speculated that all this trade talk with the Rockets came from the Suns. They are trying to raise the hype and are trying to pry Sengun who, I strongly believe, is their real target. I hope the Rockets are smart enough to ignore all the noise and get a sniper or two by drafting Sheppard, and trading for a proven long-range shooter. That Clingan thing is senseless and, just like everything else, just noise.

    At first I was like "who's this random dude" but then I realized he was THE dude. Now I'm pretty sure no Durant trade happens. This guys is gonna look like a massive mega ******* if they do trade him after this tweet and the Suns would never be able to sign a star again. There's a reason the brass usually stays quiet or gives "safe" answers in the middle of negotiations.

    They're going to ride it out and compete for a championship.

    If things don't work out just keep in touch next season, we might be able to work out something fair for both sides. But the price might just go up or the window might close. We'll enjoy the draft and next season's growth, Good luck to everyone ;)

    Phoenix may love KD, but they'd love Sengun more.

    I'd wager KD, Booker, and Beal start less than 45 games together this year due to injury. Durant's overdue to breakdown. And, Beal isn't a paragon of health.

    They need to blow out all three, and rebuild.

    Agreed, but he's got a big personality. The lack of those qualities make him. Like why Michael Strahan never fixed his teeth...
