Nick Wright unveils his mock trade sending Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets and breaks down why Houston is the ideal landing spot.
The Phoenix Suns are reportedly facing pressure to lower their asking price for Kevin Durant due to his age and trade request. Durant, who turns 37 in September, wants a fresh start elsewhere, giving other teams leverage in trade negotiations.
Hollins: “KD would fit in beautifully, and I believe he already has a relationship with Ime. There’s a high level of respect for him from our guys.”
This exit from Phoenix has been inevitable for the 36-year-old superstar, but teams have begun to speculate just how much value is left in Durant. He is coming off a solid season for the Suns, where he logged 62 games, averaging 26.6 points per game on 53% shooting overall.
