Rockets acquire Suns picks, return Nets picks to Brooklyn

Post-Bobby clarity is real.

 

Regardless of position, Durant is replacing Green's minutes for sure. Who is replacing Brooks minutes remains to be seen, between Jabari, Tari, and DFS.

The fact that they are selling the 1-3-1 lineup means that Amen is viewed as a wing. And they want to justify the perceived lack of depth in the backcourt. They are telling us we don't really need a 2 guard. I agree to an extent in the context of this era of "positionless" basketball. But I still think they should have gotten a big guard or else they will run into defensive problems with some matchups. As good as Amen is, he can't guard two guys at the same time. And Durant can't guard speedy perimeter players. I worry that it will result in FVV playing heavy minutes again.
