If Houston determines they need a superstar scorer to make a playoff push, KD makes too much sense. Giannis sounds the best for Houston but they need a guy to stretch the floor next to Amen and Green. One year of FVV, Green, Amen, KD, and Sengun with a bench of Eason, Fontecchio, Landale, Holiday, and a couple vet minimums makes it very interesting.

Suns sell KD for three young prospects and three 1sts, maybe the best deal they can get for KD. The biggest aspect is they can get control over their 1sts back.

Pistons keep their core the same but upgrade Fontecchio into Dillon Brooks who is a much better defender for the 2nd unit and currently shooting better than Tek. This move also still allows the team to resign Beasley and Schroeder. They extend Duren and Ivey and see where this team is at at the next trade deadline.
