The Rockets are expected to be at the front of the line in the Jaylen Brown sweepstakes, per Kurt Helin. 👀
If Houston somehow flipped Kevin Durant for Jaylen Brown, who wins the trade?
Right now, I would lean Houston.
Kevin Durant is still one of the greatest scorers on the planet, but Jaylen Brown is younger, healthier, and fits Houston's timeline much better.
Brown would give the Rockets an elite two-way wing entering the prime of his career while still allowing the team to grow around its young core.
Durant probably gives a contender a higher ceiling in the short term.
Brown gives Houston a chance to compete both now and for years to come.
That is why this would be such an interesting debate.
One team gets the better player today.
The other team gets the player they can build around tomorrow. 🔥
