Rumors of a potential blockbuster trade involving Kevin Durant could shake up the NBA, with the Houston Rockets eyeing the star from the Phoenix Suns. The Rockets are reportedly prepared to offer Fred VanVleet, rookie Cam Whitmore, and three first-round picks, including two unprotected ones, to secure Durant.

At 36, Durant continues to average over 25 points per game, showcasing his elite scoring ability. His playoff experience is viewed as essential to a young Rockets' roster that seeks to contend following a disappointing playoff exit. However, trading key pieces like VanVleet and Whitmore alongside valuable draft picks raises concerns about future flexibility.
