Pretty simple calculus for the Rockets to give up Cam and 2 PHX picks if FVV is the salary to make this work rather than Jalen or Sengun. This Rockets team instantly likely becomes the 2nd best team in the West next year and a legit title contender.

Suns get a likely Top 10 pick, Cam Whitmore who has tons of upside and control of their own 2027 pick back. FVV is mostly just salary matching, but he also has appeal with an expiring contract and bringing the needed organization and leadership that PHX craves right now

More so than the package, the hang up here might actually be the KD extension. Houston might be hesitant to give him both years of the extension as the 2nd year would coincide with Amens likely first max season. If KD agrees to only a 1 year extension, this is a non issue on Houston’s side
