Welcome back!
As always, we appreciate the participation in fun exercises like these. In part 1 of our trade evaluation piece, we saw names like Aaron Gordon and Blake Griffin find their way to Houston somehow, someway.
There was a bit of wishful thinking in part 1, but we get it —you want the best possible deal for your team without having to give up too much in return. Taurean Prince and Jarrett Allen? Sure. Myles Turner? You betcha.
I won’t give away too much but let’s just say that Part 2 gets reaaaally weird. So, uh, let’s proceed.
Rockets receive Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, Kelly Oubre
Suns receive James Harden
Who says no? Both teams. At least for now.
Hollinger: Whoa now!!!!!
If the Rockets decided that moving on from Harden is the way to go, this wouldn’t be a bad way to reload. Not at all. You’re going to have to leave Oubre out of it since that’s too…
