    Just imagine how many saves we will get when KD steps out of bounds

    I was open to trading Jalen for the right deal. This wasn’t it.

    Who can the Rockets obtain for Cam and one of the remaining three 1st round picks from the Suns? We need a future replacement for FVV. A mid level player in the same class as D.Brooks.

    He was starting to ball then broke his finger and the lineup shortened for the playoffs. He'll be a good backup next year, book it. He can be our TJ McConnell

    Harden was always said to have an old man game that would age well. Curry being a shooter should have a longer career. KD is riskier due to his height + injury history but you're right they've played a bunch of minutes in their career to still be this productive this late into their careers. Many all timers transitioned to role players at this point.

    He played 75 games two years ago and 62 last year. Any player can get hurt, too.

    The Rockets needed shooting, a number one offensive option and a late-game closer. Durant addresses all three really well.

    They got him for a late lottery pick in a mediocre draft, Dillon Brooks and a guy that has had four years to show he’s a star but hasn’t in Jalen Green. They kept their young core together minus Green along with Phoenix’s other picks, so they will be fine in the future.

    I hate to see The Villain go, but good night, this trade was practically a steal.
