KD should definitely be interested in this trade Houston is the team for him got the coach the talent and youth around him it’s the best spot

[@user-wd4zc3py4w]

But KD wants to win now and I don’t think the rockets are not going to jump that fast to a contender. Even if he goes to Houston. Rockets are going to improve.

KD went from NBA superstar to a superstar journeyman.

[@wulpye]

He wouldn’t be possibly on the move right now if phoenixs front office didn’t trade for Bradley Beal because of that trade is the reason why there’s a possible blow up on the table

[@madboyreadynow28]

KD is NOT a superstar. Think of what makes a Super Star? Not just being a great player but being the reason your team wins, lifting the play of average players around you. I saw this from LeBron in Cleveland. Think about this, Kyrie had the Cleveland Cavaliers to himself for 3 years and never once made it to the playoffs. LeBron did it in his first year back with the Cavs, and after Kyrie left the team. That's a Super Star. KD and Kyrie are just really good players. Not leaders or Super Stars. We get confused with always hearing a players name on ESPN and social media, and we are confused about being a Super Star. You have to really think what does that means? The NBA has had many great players, and not all are Super Stars.

[@Kane-qf8dn]

@@madboyreadynow28I’ve seen Kyrie drop 60 in 3 quarters off the bench during covid. Stop I’ve seen KD splash threes in lebron face to win fmvp. They are superstars just cuz they don’t lead as well as one of the greatest ever is not a knock

Sengun for KD isn't ideal since Sengun is so young and has so much promise, but if you watched the Rockets this season you'd see that it's a possibility.

[@jacobwilliams1285]

Its the other option yeah. Windhorst isnt considering this, for some reason. But I guess his point is, why give up those very valuable Nets picks to the Suns picks? The Suns picks are more uncertain, the Nets you know are gonna be in rebuild mode immediately.

[@pulliam318]

Why would anyone trade for KD?? He failed in Brooklyn and Is currently failing in Phx

Brooklyn was a failure because it was a "rebound relationship" for KD, he played with his friends and gave them too much power in the organization. His biggest mistake was going to Brooklyn.

[@shiningwizard202]

I don’t think the rockets should but he’s still one of the greatest scorers of all time regardless of his past issues. He’ll always be valuable.

[@mr.joshua6818]

His shooting is really where most of his value would come from at this point in his career. Health is the main issue, and hopefully the Rockets keep the right players to play with Durant.

The nets would have never traded Mikal bridges without rockets agreeing to trade nets future assets. Why is that difficult to understand. The rockets don’t need anymore young players and yes 2025 is going to be great but so what. It doesn’t guarantee rockets to get another top 3 picks even with nets tanking. They wanted more future draft picks down the line. They have 7 young guys on the roster right now and don’t need anymore.
