The Houston Rockets are rumored to be making the financial moves necessary to keep both Fred VanVleet and Kevin Durant on the roster for the foreseeable future.

The Phoenix Suns worst case scenario would be retaining the trio of Jalen Green, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal.

While Durant raises Houston's ceiling, the Rockets' depth took a hit with this deal as they traded two starters for one. Green and Brooks combined to play 65 minutes per game this season, so this exchange opens up 30-35 "new" minutes per night to be distributed among Houston's existing roster.
