If the Phoenix Suns are willing to break up their Big Three of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, it appears the Houston Rockets will be the first to pick up the phone.
Durant is one of the most desirable players in the league, largely due to his non-stop commitment and dominant scoring on all three levels. ESPN's Jonathan Givony recently reported that the Rockets are interested in acquiring Durant among a list of stars.
"The Rockets are clearly in win-now mode and would love to add star power to their roster, with players such as Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, Mikal Bridges and Brandon Ingram as well as role players including Brook Lopez and Marcus Smart being some that other teams say the Rockets could have interest in targeting (with some names more far-fetched than others)," Givony wrote.
Durant averaged 27.1 points and 6.6 rebounds on 52.3% shooting last season, but the Suns fell in a Round 1 sweep against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This sparked the decision to bring in coach Mike Budenholzer, meaning Phoenix could opt to hold their core together. However, if any team has the assets to bring in Durant, it's the Rockets.
