The biggest difference between the Rockets now and last season is not that Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks were traded, but that Durant finally came to the Rockets. This means that after five years, the Rockets finally have another superstar. James Harden and Chris Paul helped the Rockets to become super strong teams, and they even became the only super team that could compete with the Warriors with the Big Four without losing the edge.
However, the Rockets were not lucky and their luck was indeed not good enough. When they had a championship lineup at their peak, they met the powerful Warriors. In the end, the Rockets lost in the Western Conference Finals. Paul's hamstring injury was the fuse for the Rockets' loss. But there is no way, the Rockets need to accept their fate, and five years later, the Rockets ushered in a window of winning the championship.
After three or four consecutive years of bad performance, the Rockets' head coach has changed from Silas to the current tough guy Uduka. The Rockets' performance in the past two years is also quite impressive. In the first year of Uduka's takeover, the Rockets were the eleventh in the Western Conference, with a winning rate of 50%. Last season, the Rockets even became the second in the Western Conference. Although he performed poorly in the playoffs, there are very few teams who can beat the Rockets in the regular season. The arrival of Durant has greatly improved the Rockets, especially since their shortcomings are almost gone. Last season, no one of the Rockets could stand up and score at a critical moment. Their overall firepower output is also mid- or downstream among all teams. Therefore, in order to get Durant, the Rockets would give away high-quality assets such as draft picks, Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks. The Rockets got Durant, and Durant was also very willing to join forces with these guys from the Rockets to compete for the championship. Durant's contract next season is still one year, which means he will become a free agent next summer. Then the Rockets will definitely not let the superstar he has earned to leave in vain, so renewing Durant early and leaving the 36-year-old top superstar is the only choice for manager Stone.
According to William Gullori, a reporter from the US media, Durant and the Rockets have not encountered any trouble renewing their contract with the Rockets, because there are various signs that the Rockets will sign an early contract renewal with Durant in the next few weeks, which can allow Durant to continue playing in the Rockets in the future.
We know that according to the provisions of the labor-management agreement, if the Rockets renew their contract with Durant in 6 months, then he will be able to get a super maximum salary of $124 million for two years; and if the contract is renewed now, Durant's contract will be $2 million less, which will become $122 million for two years. But this is enough for Durant, with an average annual salary of $61 million, which is completely the top treatment of a superstar.
Rockets and Durant are also afraid that there will be more dreams. After all, no one knows what will happen in 6 months. Now we have reached a contract renewal quickly, and the Rockets have also taken a reassurance. Durant's big contract has been obtained. He belongs to the Houston Rockets within the next three years, and he can even retire with the Rockets. After all, after the three-year contract was executed, Durant was a 40-year-old veteran at that time. Therefore, even if the next contract is $2 million less, Durant is expected to be willing to accept it.
