Suns have some of the biggest problems in the NBA. They dont own their picks and the team is connecting, which is why they might need to think about a small or even a big rebuild. To fight this problem they trade KD to the Rockets in exchange for Reed Sheppard, Dillon Brocks, Cam Withmore + PHX pick 2020. In addition to this the sent Sheppard to washington for Smart plus the phx swap rights 2026. Therefore they have then a oppertunity to maybe do a small rebuild.

Rockets: receive Durant Wizards: have another asset for the future

KD to the Rockets and Suns receive parts to the rebuild, do they also trade Booker?
