Here's why Texans should be careful for what they wish for with Sean Payton

PRESENTED BY FITZ ROOFING

ESPN Houston's The Killer B's with Joel Blank and Jeremy Branham discuss the Texans' interest in meeting with former Saints head coach Sean Payton.

Some positives of interviewing Payton include receiving outside perspective on the state of the team, and Houston's eagerness to meet with Payton highlights the fact that this year's coaching search actually looks legitimate.

As opposed to the last two coaching hires, which featured coaches that no other team in the league had any interest in.

However, this doesn't mean that they believe Payton would be the best fit in Houston. Be sure to check out the video above to find out why.

In a move that sent shockwaves through the NBA, the Houston Rockets have pulled off a blockbuster trade for Kevin Durant, acquiring the superstar forward from the Phoenix Suns. The deal comes at a steep price—Houston parts ways with Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and five second-rounders.

In this episode, we react to the stunning trade and break down what it means for the Rockets’ future. Is parting with Green and Brooks too much, or a necessary step toward contention? We examine the risks tied to Durant’s age and injury history, and what losing a defensive anchor like Brooks means for a young, evolving roster.

We also dive into what KD brings to the table—his scoring ability, his contract situation, and whether he can truly be "the guy" on a team that’s looking to take the next step. And if he can’t stay healthy come playoff time… was the gamble even worth it?

The Rockets just pushed all their chips in. The question now: did they bet on the right hand?

Be sure to watch the video below as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein share their thoughts on the newest addition to the Rockets.
