The Houston Rockets and Brooklyn Nets could exchange some picks that belong to the Phoenix Suns.
PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns dealt a slew of draft picks to the Brooklyn Nets - along with Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson - in exchange for the services of Kevin Durant.Kelly Iko highlighted how Phoenix's old picks could be used in a trade with the Houston Rockets - who own the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
After going through options at No. 3 or trading out for a package that included a star player , Iko offered the following: "Houston also could look to acquire future draft picks, such as Brooklyn’s array of assets courtesy of the Phoenix Suns/Kevin Durant trade. The Houston Chronicle first reported the Rockets’ interest in the Suns’ unprotected first-round picks . Per team sources, the Rockets will re-engage with the Nets leading up to the June 26 draft."Phoenix has the No.
The Suns can also trade their 2031 first-round pick, and it appears owner Mat Ishbia is intent on pushing even more chips to the middle of the table. "Fans like to look in the future and say, 'Hey, I really like that 2031 draft pick because maybe that seventh grader is going to be really good and we're going to draft him and one day he's going to be a player.'""Five in the next eight years, we have a first-round draft pick.
