If KD is out of Phoenix, then Booker should be a on the block soon... Between the 2 of them, I would prefer Booker, but this trade can get either of them.  The Rockets have a ton of expiring contracts they can leverage to go get an allstar and replace Jalen Green in the process while the Suns get a young, budding star to build around! Detroit gets a 1st for taking on some salary. Win-Win-Win!

Man, I know Booker is good but that’s a lot to trade for anyone.

It's the Nets type of deal, you have to give back their picks or they won't trade him to anyone, and the Rockets hold all those cards.  Booker is under contract for 3 more years, so no concern of him leaving, and he's only 28. Would be awesome to upgrade from Jalen Green to him as your guy trying to create shots for himself in tight games.  None of the players in that trade will be anywhere as good as Booker is, and the picks have no guarantee to result in a player like him.  It's a lot of future cap space, but maybe it would help them get that next Fred contract into a realistic range for his talents, because 33m to that guy is an overpay.
