Honestly, great deal for both teams. Suns get some really good rebuild pieces and Rockets aren't paying an overwhelming price for KD

 

[AaronPDX]

My initial thought, isn't Green somewhat redundant in Phx? Wonder if he may be moved as well.....

 

[dude12]

Derozan should be next chip to trade now

 

[iowamcnabb]

Good

After all that grousing the Suns only got their pick back this season, a bunch of second rounders, Dillon Brooks, and a guy that they have made absolutely clear they don’t want on their team lol

Miami apparently made a huge effort to get KD so I wonder how fast they’ll pivot to DeMar now.

Sixth man is a role nba players forgot about

Because of the poison pill restriction in the Jalen Green rookie extension, this trade cannot be finalized until July 6. https://t.co/om0E6wnojx

And with that, Phoenix has $140 million invested into shooting guards who can’t play effectively next to each other

And we think the Kings roster lacks balance lol

Kevin Durant is on stage at @FanaticsFest finding out that he was traded to the Houston Rockets... Unreal.

Wonder realistically what it would take to get Jalen Green diverted to Sac.

 

[The_Jamal]

So with thay, the Kings core theoretically become top of the line for a "potential seller", when mostly everyone is looking to buy. Like who else could actually be moved? Trae? Ball? Ja/JJJ maybe?

I’m sure they aren’t going to hold on to him long term

Now owning four draft picks — 10, 29, 52, 59 — the Suns figure to be very active across the board.

Phoenix could net an instant starter in the lottery, but keep an eye on them potentially trading up from No. 29.

Michigan big Danny Wolf is a potentially strong trade-up target. pic.twitter.com/8SDEGi7Zse

If the Suns did all this to end up trading the 10th pick nd 29th pick to draft Danny Wolf who they could likely just trade down for, they really are the new Kings of the west.

 

[Tetsujin]

Also, this is just ending with DeMar to Miami huh

This must mean packaging 29, 52, 59 to move up, right? Man, no way Wolf is a top-10 player, just no way.

But, why?

As has been the plan all along

 

[kingsboi]

not a bad haul for a 37 year old who has constantly changed teams every couple of seasons. I don't know if Phoenix plans on keeping those 5 second rounders or package them to get a late first, but it's still multiple chances at finding a gem in the second round, which is ideal for a team that may be on the cusp of a rebuild when they see Green & Booker won't amount to much as the core pieces.

Then it doesn't look like they'll be getting DDR either.

“Why won’t the Kings trade me DDR for Terry Rozier’s money and a conditional second rounder?” -Pat Riley probably

They had to save those assets for Demar, duh

I suppose we have to hope that they weren't high on one year of 37-year-old Durant, because we can't just give them DDR for free.

I wouldn't mind taking Davion back and some second rounders that aren't "junk" picks
