In a recent mailbag for SI.com, veteran NBA reporter Chris Mannix shared his belief that Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant could be interested in joining the Houston Rockets this summer.

While Mannix emphasizes that this is purely his personal opinion, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 agrees with him, echoing the same sentiment.

The potential fit between the Suns and Rockets is intriguing, as Houston controls several of Phoenix’s draft picks, making a trade between the two teams seem plausible.

However, the real question remains whether the Rockets would be willing to part with valuable assets for Durant, who will be 37 years old next season.

Previous reports have indicated that Houston has been focused on adding a more “age-appropriate” star to complement their young core, raising doubts about their interest in acquiring a player of Durant’s age.
