Rockets have officially announced that Kevin Durant has officially joined, and this 7-party big deal has finally been finalized. The day on July 7 is of great significance to Rockets fans. After five years of bad performance, the Rockets finally got a true superstar, although this super giant is about to turn 37. I will not elaborate on the details of this 7-party big deal here. Anyway, everyone should know that we got Durant and Capela in this deal at the same time. Will of the media wrote: Durant is finally the person of our team.

Durant has played for the Thunder, Warriors, Nets, Suns and Rockets in his career, and this super giant is heading for a new chapter.

Rockets GM Rafael Stone talked about Durant's deal: "KD can have an impact on both offense and defense. He is one of the most efficient breakups in basketball history. We appreciate the team's growth last season and believe that KD's skills can be perfectly integrated."

Rockets coach Uduka talked about Durant's joining: "After playing against KD and coaching him, I knew he was the kind of person we need most in Houston, and he was in line with the system we built. His skill level, love for basketball and persistence in football have made him respected in this generation. My team and I look forward to working with him."

High Media have welcomed Durant's joining - we finally got Kevin Durant.

There is another thing waiting to be finalized, and that is Durant's jersey number. Some media said that Durant will change from Suns 35 to Rockets 7.

U.S. media reported that Durant's agent Rick Kleiman posted three consecutive IGs that hinted that Durant would wear the No. 7 jersey again.

Durant was signed first and then transferred to the Nets in the summer of 2019 and then transferred, and then moved from Warriors 35 to Nets 7, which means entering a new chapter.
