Suns GM provided an interesting insight into the Kevin Durant trade deal

Before the Suns ultimately chose to trade Kevin Durant to the Rockets, the deal was widely reported throughout the NBA offseason. So much so that everyone knew the veteran was about to be traded. That said, Brian Gregory, general manager of the Suns, has explained the thinking behind Phoenix’s ultimate Durant trade choice.

We were in contact with Kevin and his team the whole time. The No. 1 goal is to find a way to bring in the valuable pieces that would help us continue to move forward in the right direction.

Brian Gregory told the media

Phoenix thought that the Rockets’ offer was the most effective strategy to get back into the running because they wanted to reorganize their roster around Devin Booker, and the Suns and Durant were heading in different directions. In a few months into the new season, it will be interesting to see who gets the better bargain.

NBA insider shares his honest opinions on the Rockets securing Kevin Durant

Many have controversial opinions when it comes to the Kevin Durant trade deal. Some believe that the Rockets lost two of their good players in Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green, whereas others believe that the Rockets have significantly upgraded in attack after acquiring Durant. It’s safe to say that NBA analyst Tim Bontemps believes the latter of the opinions is right.

Durant being added to the Rockets is a perfect trade, as per the NBA analyst. He will be a huge boost in the shooting sector and add experience to this young Rockets’ roster.

That is an unbelievable upgrade for the Rockets. Big part of why Houston lost in the first round of the playoffs was Jalen Green simply wasn’t good enough as a scorer… under 30% from three, under 40% from the field..

The Rockets were eliminated at the hands of Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors during the NBA Playoffs. The major reason: their lack of experience in shooting in big games. This is exactly where Durant will slot in and add much firepower to the roster going into the new season.
