Trouble! It was revealed that the Suns hope to trade Durant with the Rockets, but the Rockets were worried that two major issues would affect the team building

With the G7 whistle, the first round series between the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors came to an end. Congratulations to the Warriors, after a tragic round of the series, they finally got the last laugh. Curry's words in the post-match interview are enough to be the most incisive comment of this round of series. Curry said: "From the intensity of physical confrontation allowed in the early stage of the series, this (the Rockets' defense) is one of the most difficult defenses I have ever encountered, which is crazy." Even Curry, who is used to the playoffs, is still scared of the Rockets' defense.

For the young Rockets, they obviously exceeded the task. Before the start of the season, the industry generally believed that this team was at the playoff level, but they finally reached the second place in the regular season Western Conference. It is a bit regrettable to be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, but for a group of young people in their 20s, everything is on the right path. However, they don’t have real star players. When you have 2 games in a series, you only score more than 80 points in the whole game, it is too difficult to advance.

After the Rockets were eliminated, a name was repeatedly mentioned - Kevin Durant. Yes, Durant is the answer the Rockets need. Don’t talk about old age, and don’t always promote Durant’s remarks on demolition of the team. I just want to say that even the 40-year-old Durant is much more threatening than Jaylen Green's offensive? If the Rockets had a Durant in the playoffs this year, the Warriors would not be able to defeat the Rockets in the series. The Rockets young men's rookie contract bonuses are very little left, and it's time for them to make the star. The point is that Durant is interested in the Rockets. During the regular season, Durant glared at the Rockets more than once. During this offseason, the Rockets' trading of Durant will be a very imaginative thing. Recently, according to NBA reporter Jake Fischer, the Suns regard the Rockets as Durant's potential trader next. "The Suns naturally hope that the Rockets will become interested in Durant," Fischer said. "Many sources in the league revealed that they did try to get the Rockets to participate in Durant's trading conversations before the trade deadline on February 7 this year." However, he also revealed that the Rockets have some concerns. Fischer said the Rockets still resist the idea of ​​giving up quality assets in the (Durant) deal, because the legendary star, who was 36 years old, is currently only one season left in the contract (the salary in the 2025-26 season is $54.71 million). To sum up, the Rockets are worried about two points: one is Durant's age, which may affect his status; the other is that if you pay too many chips, you will overdraw your future.

In my opinion, these two problems should not be obstacles for the Rockets to try to trade Durant. In fact, these two things are ultimately a core issue, which is whether the Rockets will give up young players and draft picks, and replace Durant, who is about to turn 37. So the question is, if the Rockets don’t replace Durant and guard these young people who have obvious shortcomings, will they have a chance to win the championship? Obviously not. When Jia, Ethan and Amen all need to renew their contracts, the Rockets' problems will become more obvious. As long as the Suns are not a big Lions, the Rockets are completely worth a gamble on Durant! Rockets fans, I have been looking forward to the stars for a long time!

When Jaylen Green was completely submerged by the wind and snow, and the Rockets' engine was completely shut down. Will Durant be the answer to break the ice? I think you must have your own answer.
