The blockbuster deal between the Knicks and Nets had more to it than Mikal Bridges rejoining his former Villanova teammates, Yaron Weitzman says.
Well, that escalated quickly. We've got bundles of picks being thrown around, crosstown rivals making deals and, somehow yet again, new Kevin Durant trade rumors popping up. What does it all mean? We won't know until after the start of free agency Sunday night, when we see how everything plays out. But that doesn't mean we can't toss out some thoughts in the meantime.
It's not just that the Rockets now own some of the Suns' first round picks. It's also that they have a roster loaded with talented young players, any of whom can be packaged with those picks for Durant. At some point, the Rockets are going to have to choose between these prospects; there's just no way to pay Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson, nevermind the two lottery picks they have in this week's draft.
