KD to Rockets? Mind Blown

D’Antoni’s Dream? Rockets Trade for KD, Suns Get Draft Gold — ESPN Rates the Deal

KD for Draft Picks?

I paused my cold brew mid-sip—this trade feels like The Graduate remixed by Miles Davis on steroids.

Houston traded for KD not for a title run, but for future gold. No core players gone—just young wings and picks that could be worth more than cash.

Phoenix? They’re getting two first-rounders—including #10. That’s luxury tax fuel + generational rebuild material.

Sure, losing Dillon Brooks hurts—but Amen Thompson is the upgrade we didn’t know we needed. Flexibility > chemistry.

So yeah—this isn’t about winning now. It’s about planting seeds while everyone else plays checkers.

You guys think this was a gamble? Or just pure INTJ-level planning?
