Kevin Durant was quickly associated with the Houston Rockets after their trade for future first-round picks from the Phoenix Suns. Adrian Wojnarowski later suggested Devin Booker could also be a target, but Booker has reportedly expressed no desire to leave the Suns.

“Clearly, the player we’re looking at here is Kevin Durant,” said Brian Windhorst on SportsCenter on Wednesday morning. “I know that Woj has brought up Devin Booker. I don’t think Booker has any interest in leaving the Suns.

“The Durant situation is more interesting. He’s got connections to the Rockets. Ime Udoka is his former assistant when he was in Brooklyn. Royal Ivey is one of the closest people he’s got in the NBA, has been for years. He’s an assistant on the Houston staff.

“And here’s the thing that’s most important I know: that these Nets picks are very valuable. The Rockets want to win now. They’re looking to improve now. They want to be in the playoffs immediately. That’s what this trade enables them to get in position to do.”
