Aiming at the Rockets first round? The Suns are impatient! Actively sell Durant, Stone can counter the spot

36-year-old Kevin Durant is a superstar for the Rockets and the top scorer that the Rockets need most. Many teams in the league are interested in Durant. For example, the Timberwolves plan to let Durant and Edwards cooperate, so that they may achieve better results next season. But the Suns don't seem to be planning to send Durant to Minnesota to join forces with Edwards.

This is not because the Suns are afraid that the Timberwolves will make a better record, but the Suns are planning to rebuild, and it is rebuilding around 28-year-old Devin Booker. Before rebuilding, they have to do something, such as cleaning up some garbage contracts - like the big contract of their third giant Bradley Bill must be cleaned up so that they can start the reconstruction mode with peace of mind.

In addition, the Suns' three future first-round draft picks or first-round draft pick swaps are still in the hands of the Houston Rockets. For example, the No. 10 pick in 2025, the first round pick in 2027 and the first round pick in 2029 are all in the hands of the Rockets. If the Suns plan to rebuild, they must reclaim these three first-round picks before they can be confident. According to Rockets reporter Kelly Iko, the Suns are now actively trying to trade their 36-year-old super giant Durant, and the Rockets are naturally the Suns who want to sell the most. According to reports, the Suns have been in contact with the Rockets many times, trying to send the 36-year-old superstar Durant away so that they can get their picks back, and the Suns also plan to use the Rockets' No. 10 pick this year as the starting point for reconstruction. It seems that this team has a lot of ambitions. While keeping Booker, they use these first-round draft picks to win some potential new players in order to make a comeback. This is the Suns' plan. Of course, Durant became the key.

If the Rockets clearly want Durant, then the Suns will definitely be willing to let him go. After all, they have begun to take the initiative to sell Durant, but they will definitely ask the Rockets for a sky-high price, such as asking for three first-round draft picks and young players suitable for reconstruction. Of course, some expiration contracts are also essential to match salary.

In fact, we can see that the Suns are impatient. They seem to have lost their patience. After all, the draft will be held at the end of this month. If the Rockets' first round 10 pick is traded to other teams, it will be a disastrous consequence for the Suns - they cannot recover their first-round draft pick, and missed a potential rookie and assisted other teams, which is unacceptable for the Suns who want to rebuild. So now the Suns are actively selling Durant to the Rockets, just to quickly regain their three first-round draft picks, and the Suns are a little anxious.

As Rockets general manager, Raphael Stone does not have to worry at all, because according to reports, the Suns have been lowering their asking price. Stone can bargain on the spot, and take advantage of the Suns' impatient spirit to bargain on the spot. If Durant's trading chips can be squeezed to a reasonable level, the Rockets can actually try to exchange for Durant. After all, the Rockets will lack super scorers like Durant next season.

And Durant has one year left in the contract. If the Rockets think Durant is not suitable for the team, then it is enough not to renew him next summer. The initiative is in the hands of Rockets general manager Raphael Stone, who can adapt to the situation.
