The Phoenix Suns Kevin Durant on Sunday, ending an era that amounted to two playoff appearances in three years, and just one playoff series win. That's not a diss to Durant, the Suns constructed a roster that was incredibly top-heavy around its three stars of Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, leaving very little left over to fill out the rest of the roster with quality role players. There was also the issue of injuries, as all three of those guys struggled at one time or another with various ailments, keeping them sidelined for large chunks of time and stifling any ability to build the type of chemistry needed for a championship-contending team.So after two-and-a-half years of having Durant on the team, the Suns sent him to one of his preferred destinations in the Houston Rockets, in which Phoenix got a return package of Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in this week's draft and five second-round picks. It's certainly not the haul the Suns initially gave up to add Durant in 2023, but getting even half of what Phoenix paid was never a realistic possibility given his age, contract status and injury history. At best, the return is average, which is what my colleague Brad Botkin . But if you're Booker, the guy who has been the face of this Phoenix franchise since being drafted 13th overall in 2015, it's just another reason why he would be well within his rights to request a trade away from the Suns.Let's consider all the variables of just the trade itself. Phoenix didn't add a point guard to pair with Booker, someone who can set the table for the Suns and get the ball to him in the right spots. They got Green, who plays the same position as Booker, is a high-usage, low-efficiency scorer who needs the ball in his hands to be effective. Oh, and then there's Beal, who also slots best as a shooting guard along with Booker and Green, giving the Suns no depth elsewhere on the roster. They didn't address the need of a starting center through this trade, though they can still accomplish that this summer. Adding Brooks will raise Phoenix's defense, but he's not the type of player who is going to drastically alter Phoenix's outlook next season., Devin Armani Booker (born October 30, 1996) is an American professional basketball player for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played one season of college basketball for the Kentucky Wildcats, winning SEC Sixth Man of the Year before being drafted 13th overall by the Suns in the first round of the 2015 NBA draft., Devin Booker is 1 of 3 players in NBA history to score 70+ points in a loss.
