When is it reasonable to ask Is James Harden the biggest choker ever?

Hearing that the Rockets are going to make a push for Giannis.
I dunno if anyone can top Presti if he wants to do it though

Rockets are interesting, but I'm not sure if they realize that Sengun is by far their best player or that he and Giannis operate in the same space a lot.
Green is the right player to flip to Milwaukee in trade, but I don't know if a core that shoots as poorly as a Sengun-Giannis-Amen trio can win.
They definitely have the pieces to pull off the deal though.

I think i prefer Durant for Houston, but selfishly i want to see Durant in San Antonio

As a style fit, yeah Durant in Houston makes more sense imo. The Rockets defend like lunatics but can't score. Durant fixes some of that for about as cheap as you're going to get a scorer of that calibre for. SAS has already made their decision to have Wemby and Fox shooting the ball 35-40 times a night, I don't see how KD fits into that when they already have a bag of secondary guys.
Though I think KD ends up in Denver for MPJ if I was betting. Denver is going to take big swings to change their roster this summer. Denver gets a win now piece that takes some of the perimeter scoring weight off of Murray, and Phoenix gets a younger piece and elite floor spacer for Booker while being a guy who doesn't need the ball in his hands so they can maximize whatever Beal still is.

I think Dallas is the most desperate for Durant

Have the least to offer though. That's a hard salary to match for them. It would be a legit poo poo player of 7-10 million dollar bench players for Durant and a bunch of league min contracts. There's the possibility of a 3rd team to facilitate I guess, but it's still complicated to make the money work. Houston makes some sense if they opt in to Fred's final year and use him as salary balast (and Phoenix wants to run a Fred-Booker-Beal back court for some fucking reason).
Denver still strikes me as the easiest deal for everyone though. MPJ for Durant more or less straight up. Durant is probably worth a little bit more, so I could see a pick or two involved but it should work for everyone.
