Who you picking up?
Whichever disgruntled superstar becomes available. Devin Booker, Ja Morant and Trae Young are intriguing.
I've even seen Zion Williamson's name being mentioned. But people say Zion is lazy and fat. Not an ideal fit.
In the end I think Kevin Durant makes more sense. We can acquire him without giving up our top three players.
Kevin Durant may be old but he's still a top 6 scorer in the NBA. Shooting over 53% and 40% from threes.
He can still create his own shot with his great length. Durant is elite at all the things the Rockets are lacking.
I think Alperen Sengun, Jalen Green, Amen Thompson and Kevin Durant could win an NBA Title next year.
Assuming the Rockets can piece together a decent bench. Would still need to find another veteran point guard.
I think the Houston Rockets are wise to "go for it" next year. Try to win the 2026 NBA Finals. Accelerate everything this summer.
