In a shocking turn of events, the NBA world was rocked today by reports of a potential blockbuster trade between the Rockets and the Suns that could see Kevin Durant donning a Rockets jersey next season. Yes, you read that right, KD in Houston!
According to sources close to the situation, the Rockets are willing to part ways with a combination of draft picks, cash considerations, and a lifetime supply of beard grooming products for James Harden in order to acquire the services of the former MVP.
When reached for comment, Rockets GM Daryl Morey had this to say, “We believe that adding Kevin Durant to our already stacked lineup will give us the best chance to compete for a championship. Plus, we heard he’s a big fan of barbecue, and we have some really good BBQ joints in Houston.”
On the other side, Suns GM Ryan McDonough was reportedly ecstatic about the opportunity to acquire Harden. “We are thrilled to bring James Harden to Phoenix. We believe his beard will fit in perfectly with our young and exciting core of players. Plus, we heard he’s a big fan of cacti, and we have plenty of those in Arizona.”
When asked about the potential trade, Durant himself was tight-lipped, only offering this cryptic response, “I’m just here to play basketball and eat cupcakes. Anything else is just icing on the cake.”
As the NBA world waits with bated breath for official confirmation of the trade, one thing is for sure – if this deal goes through, the Rockets will have one of the most potent offensive lineups in the league, and the Suns will have a revamped roster that could surprise a lot of people.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story, and remember folks, in the world of the NBA, anything is possible, even a trade that seems too good to be true.
