PHX sends Durant to Houston.
Houston sends Sheppard, smith and 10th pick this year.

Thoughts.

Phx needs a pg and size.

Simultaneously not enough and too much for Durant.

About $32 M short on salary matching.

And the Rockets aren't giving up Sheppard, Smith and the #10 for Durant.

There is probably no Durant/Rockets deal that both teams like.

He likely goes to the Wolves or the Raptors.

OP,

Welcome to the boards! Please read the sticky at the top of the board. We require only a few things when posting a trade, but a couple of them are making sure its CBA legal, this one is not and reasons why each team should make your proposed trade. Please feel free to re-post once you make it legal and explain why these teams want to make the deal.

Thanks!
