Rockets really need another guy that can do something down the stretch offensively in these games since Green is so hot and cold.

Clearly the Suns are terrible and will trade KD in the offseason, I think it makes sense for them to ask about Booker. I think he fits the timeline and what they wanna do
Booker goin fall off soon. He’s having his worse season since last decade. Like he’s going to have a Beal drop off and somebody goin be left holding the bag. His defense has been terrible(he’s never been anything but an average defender at best but it stands out even moreso this season.we own the suns pick so watch a lot of suns game and KD is miles and above the best overall player k that squad. Booker is already starting to struggle to get by his defender. Hes settling for a huge amount of jumpers and this is his career low in % of shot attempts at the rim. He’s become a better passer but Ime’s system doesn’t make passers look good. And Booker is passing a lot. He leads the league in secondary passes by a mile. I agree we need another bucket but he’s losing that ability more and more. Teams are forcing him to get rid of the ball a lot this year which is why his advanced passing metrics are insane.


Now maybe this is because he plays with Durant and just defers because Booker is night and day a different guy playing with CP3 and playing with Durant. Maybe he’s falling back and just letting KD be the guy and he taking a more playmaker role.

What is Minny going to do about Naz Reid. He’s a vital piece to their success and probably their second most valuable asset after Ant. He has a player option this summer. No doubt he exercises it. He’s on team friendly deal now but he’s going to command top dollar if he becomes a free agent this summer.

Supposedly that was one of the major factors of the KAT trade to try and create some space to keep Naz around. I think the Wolves are confident moving forward with a core of Ant, McDaniels and Naz. They need to move Randle this summer, hopefully before the draft, but maybe they also look into moving Rudy this offseason to open up some more cap space. But I think the Wolves will do everything they can to keep him here.

It depends on how other teams view him as a 6th man or more as a starter.

The thing they have working in their favor is that other teams don't have the cap space like that to sign him outright. With that being said, he's not a $30 million dollar a year player.
