It seemed pretty light to get KD. I don't see how Phoenix is planning on using Booker, Green, and Brooks at the same time. Maybe another trade's coming.
I don’t think KD puts the Rockets over the top. Especially since there is a good chance he will be hurt come playoff time. Trading for Giannis would have made a lot more sense.
I was just about to post this.
I don't like this trade for the Rockets. It annoys me they included Brooks. At least most of the picks were second rounders.

Brooks and the picks are worth KD alone. I put a premium on guys that piss off the other team.
Brooks is definitely more what Booker needs in a teammate than Green is.
I also like this trade more for the Suns than for the Rockets.
Maybe I'm just a huge KD hater

They gave up so little of their assets, they could still go after Giannis.
That would be something.
Cool! We talked about it on the pod and Houston was one of the two leading contenders.
Well now our bet got a bit more interesting. Green to the suns. An old can’t play D KD goes to Houston. Is Giannis still in play?
When we get that reminder in 4 years, I suspect we'll initially be very confused about why we were comparing Jalen Green to Giannis.
I don't like Green with Booker together, but if Booker gets traded I could imagine Green putting up some crazy numbers.
This might be another year where everyone talks about a Giannis trade and he once again doesn't ask to be traded.
I feel like Houston fleeced the Suns…. I mean we are so deep in high end picks?
