There is no one left in the first round in the next seven years! The Suns are getting deeper and deeper, and the Rockets have been slammed into the life gate

Suns' first round pick distribution in the next 7 years: 25 years (Rockets), 26 years (Wilderers), 27 years (Rockets), 28 years (Nets), 29 years (Rockets), 30 years (Wilderers), 31 years (Jazz).

In fact, although the Nets' first round swap rights in 28 years are in the hands of the Nets, the Nets' first round in 27 years is in the hands of the Rockets. As long as the Suns get the 27-year Nets swap rights in the Rockets, they can exchange their 28-year swap rights. Therefore, the Suns will definitely discuss trades with the Rockets this summer to fight for their first round. However, the Rockets are not interested in Booker, and the Suns don't want to send Booker away. Then the Suns can only use Durant as the core bargaining chip in the negotiations. In the middle of the season, the Suns took the initiative to ask the Rockets for the first round of Smith, Shepard and Brooks, but were rejected by the Rockets. Obviously, the Rockets are unwilling to give young people to the process of getting Durant. If the Rockets and Suns finally reach a deal, it may be to use the Suns' first round of 3 to exchange with the Nets for 27 years, then join VanVleet's contract and exchange it for Durant. An important evidence is that the Rockets and VanVleet postponed the deadline for the execution of the contract. Theoretically, if the Rockets are determined to retain Van Vlitter, they will directly refuse to execute the last-year contract and then sign a new contract with Van Vlitter. But the Rockets postponed the decision period first, and the first thing they need to consider trading VanVleet. For VanVleet, it is acceptable to execute his last year contract, after all, the contract for the last year is as high as $44.9 million.

Personally, Durant is still the Rockets' most important signing target this summer. As for Antetokounmpo, the Rockets can also try it, such as sending Shin Kyung, Ethan, Brooks, and the Rockets' first round picks for 28, 30 and 32 years, and there are 27, 29 and 31 years of swap rights. The Bucks can use these draft picks to exchange for their first round picks in 26 and 27 years with the Pelicans, which can be said to be a three-killing victory.
