Here we will discuss the Kevin Durant trade offer that the Houston Rockets must make to the Phoenix Suns to seal the deal.

To Windhorst’s point, Houston finished 52-30 and No. 2 in the Western Conference last season, while Miami went 37-45 in the East. Thus, from a purely short-term basketball perspective, the Rockets would seemingly give Durant a better opportunity to compete at the highest level over whatever remains of his prime NBA years.
