    Ishbia / PHX are insane.

    WE are dealing from a position of strength with ALL the leverage.

    Stone needs to tell them to f*ck off.

    Seriously, let them sink and collect/ trade the spoils.

    This like if people are so desperate to trade why not get a better player for that package.

    Depends on what "a few picks" are. Bane is nice and is an upgrade over Green. But I'd keep the high value picks for a true star. I'd trade Jalen and one lotto-protected pick for Bane.

    I’m totally fine with passing on KD and bringing back Fred long term.

    You guys seem stressed.

    I am looking forward to the day that the Suns trade Durant to a team not named the Houston Rockets, I want to put this **** to sleep already.

    Insane if true. Amen or Sengun for KD would be diabolical.

    "The Rockets, however, have been unwilling to part with 22-year-old First Team All-Defensive selection Amen Thompson in trade talks, league sources told HoopsHype.

    It’s believed that Houston would also not want to part with 22-year-old All-Star Alperen Sengun in talks for Durant."

    If this is anywhere close to be true. Then let this end and move forward in another direction. Tell the Suns we look forward to their future drafts.

    WOW! Such breaking news. It's like World News Tonight. Breaking news and then they show 30 mins of the same stuff they showed 2 days ago. Journalism used to be a noble undertaking, now it's just a bunch Aholes.

    It's all about what it would cost ofcourse.
    If he was a free agent and wanted to come to the Rockets, very few people would be against it so then its all about what you have to give up for him and secondly do you have enough left to make a splash

    Good question, but that may be where the Ime factor comes into play.

    None of this is even f4 worthy because KD is an old fart who is going to break down in a season or two. If we honestly trade even a single future lotto pick for one and a half season worth of KD (and we aren't going to win a championship with KD anyways)... I won't be a happy camper.

    Why does this even need to be put in print? Unbelievable how delusional the Suns and media are sometime. I guess since Luka got traded anything is possible but Rockets truly aren't desperate at this point to go "all in" unless it is a younger superstar that becomes available.
