Eason has proven over the past few years to be a very good player for the Rockets, and the last thing the front office wants to do is get rid of him because of Durant, especially given how old he is. Despite that, ClutchPoints believes that the youngster could be a trade candidate throughout the year, noting the addition of Durant.

The fact that MacMahon also said Durant doesn't plan to push for such a deal is an encouraging sign for Houston at least. He's going into the final year of his contract and will be paid $54.7 million. An NBC Sports report from Summer League indicated Durant may accept $100 million over two years on an extension.
