Phoenix Suns READY To SURPASS Houston Rockets, Durant Just ONE YEAR After Trade

The Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets seem attached at the hip, following the trade that netted Phoenix the No.10 pick that turned into Khaman Maluach, in addition to Dillon Brooks, and Jalen Green.

Since the trade, both teams have operated in the same realm of the standings, while working to establish their youthful talents as they integrate their new top-end pieces.

Can the Phoenix Suns pass the Kevin Durant-led Houston Rockets in the standings in 2026-27? Which franchise has enjoyed the better off-season? Who’s been better off post-KD trade?

Erik Ruby and Stephen PridGeon-Garner are back to dive into the details of all the above, in addition to reactions to the Minnesota Timberwolves trade news, plus more on the latest episode of PHNX Suns!
