Suns/Mavs/Houston adjust Picks/everyone happy 

Post#1 » by Astaluego » Mon May 26, 2025 7:26 am

SUNS
In: Gafford/J.Smith/D.Brooks
Out:KD

The Suns are getting younger and adjusting better. This move would save them a lot of money, since by doing a 3x1 they can reject the Micic/Martin options without creating holes.

(I would continue with Royce to Denver, Russ to the Suns and Saric/Tyson and seconds to someone else's space)

MAVS
In:J.Green
Out: Gafford/Klay/O-Max

With an eye on the future, they trade a couple of veterans for a talented youngster with a lot of potential (and work to do to polish it).

HOUSTON
In;KD/Klay/O-Max
Out:Green/Smith/Brooks

After being the second seed and falling short in the playoffs, they solved their most obvious problems: the lack of a truly elite scorer and an elite spacer/shooter.

FVV/Klay/Amen/KD/Sengun
Sheppard/Holiday/Whitmore/Eason/Adams


thoughts?
Is it necessary to include selections? From whom and where?

Dallas shouldn't be happy, Green sucks.

Not moving Jabari in any Durant deal.

Best offer would be Green, Jock and #10

This would be contingent on Durant extending at a number commiserate with who he is as a player today, like 25 to 30m.

Otherwise, just not interested.

Every Durant for Jabari deal will get and has been denied on T&T by Rockets fans. It's an emphatic no.

Houston has enough draft assets (10, 2027 two best of bkn/phx/hou, 2029 two best of dal/hou/phx, etc) and prospects who are not key pieces yet (Whitmore, Sheppard) to make deals without giving up key pieces.
Dillon is Udoka’s guy. Not dealing him unless something crazy.
One of Eason/Jabari may be dealt due to position overlap but not cheaply.
