The Houston Rockets may have acquired Kevin Durant this summer, but they still hold some of the Suns' future first-round picks. Those picks got a bit sweeter after Bradley Beal's buyout.
It's become a mantra at SpaceCityScoop: Whatever is bad for the Suns is good for the Rockets. Lately, it feels like a lot is going wrong for the Suns. Their last few seasons have been a comedy of errors.
The Suns can't rebuild without their picks. So, they'll want to stay competitive.
Having Beal's dead money on the books through 2030 won't help that cause.
