The trade involving Kevin Durant has left questions about whether the Rockets made a better deal than the Suns. Injuries to Durant during the playoffs have complicated the evaluation of the trade's impact.
How do you think the Kevin Durant trade played out for the Rockets? Was it worth losing players such as Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks? Metta World Peace: I think it’s played out the same way for both the Rockets and the Phoenix Suns. It was quite an even trade. It’s tough for the Rockets because Durant missed Game 1 with a knee injury, then injured his ankle in Game 2, causing him to miss more time. That hurt them a lot. I’ve been injured in the playoffs, so I know how it feels. I was supposed to be out for six weeks with a meniscus tear, but I came back and played the San Antonio Spurs within two weeks. I wasn’t the same and couldn’t move. It’s hard to gauge whether the Rockets got the better of the trade because, while Durant is great, he’s a little older now. Meanwhile, the Suns got Jalen Green. Dillon Brooks is also showing he can play offense now and not just be a tough defender and enforcer. He is showing that he can score now. They both had tough situations in the playoffs. Houston had to face the Lakers, and Durant was hurt. The Suns went up against OKC, which is far from easy.
