ড্যান্টোনির গ্যামিট

আমার মডেলকেই ভাঙা

সত্যি-সত্যি, শামস-এর “বোমা”-এরপর, मेरा पूर्ण भविष्यवाणी अल्गोरिदम को पुनर्गठित करना पड़ा। 37-বছর, 1-বছরের अवधि, Phoenix-এ खेलारंभ—অप्रत्याशित ही है? सच कहूं तो: इसके पहले से ही अपेक्षा करना उचित।

‘গগল’ + ‘চিঠি’

হয়তো 2032-এর 2nd round picks (5টা) —হয়তো!—কিন্তু 2027 unprotected first & other top-10 protected assets?

def. gap & missing piece

Dillon Brooks - who rebuilt Houston’s defense under Tyronn Lue and Ime Udoka - was released. His absence dropped defensive rating by nearly six points.

Salary cap chaos

Houston is already near luxury tax. Adding Durant ($44M+) for Harden-era nostalgia? No way.

Suns: Regret or Rebuild?

The real prize? Next year’s #10 pick—their highest since Jalen Smith in ’20. They now have two first-rounders—and no immediate ceiling.

“We don’t need another star,” says GM James Jones. “We need time.” And he might be right—but only if they avoid becoming ‘the team that overvalued flash over foundation.’

Final Verdict: B+ Only If You Believe in Time Travel

ESPN gave both teams B+. Let me revise: Rockets = B+ only if Durant plays like ’18–’19 again — trust faith over stats. Suns = B, avoided worse damage—but decisions rooted in emotion. In truth? Legacy-building vs analytics… or destiny beyond data?
