Since Kevin Durant’s arrival in Houston, speculation about the Rockets’ ambitions has intensified. The Texas franchise no longer hides its desire to become a powerhouse in the Western Conference once again.
Some observers believe that another big move could be in the works for the Rockets. While nothing is concrete yet, the conditions seem right for another major splash in Texas. It’s still early, but this scenario can’t be ruled out given the assets they currently have.
@esidery: “If the Rockets want to, they still have the assets to go after another big win-now move and bring in a second star alongside Kevin Durant. If Durant agrees to a lower contract in Houston, it would give them additional flexibility to make such a move. Keep an eye on Houston moving forward.”
What’s next for the Rockets on the market?
This quote highlights the idea that Houston’s management, now focused on immediate contention, could speed things up to build an even more formidable roster. Trading away Jalen Green already marked a clear strategic shift. Durant brings experience and star power, but the Rockets might want to pair him with another top-tier player to maximize their chances this season. Several names could be targeted if the opportunity arises.
With plenty of draft picks still available and some attractive contracts that could be included in a deal, Houston retains a good amount of flexibility in the market. Everything will depend on KD’s willingness to make financial concessions and how the trade landscape evolves in the coming weeks. One name to watch? Giannis Antetokounmpo—but he’s not the only one.
In any case, Durant’s arrival seems to be just the first step. The franchise wants to make a big impact and shake up the NBA as soon as 2025. Ime Udoka now has a high-level roster at his disposal, one that could evolve even more quickly.
Fans are already tossing out potential targets: Donovan Mitchell, Brandon Ingram, or even Lauri Markkanen could become realistic options if a move is made. The Rockets have the resources and the ambition to remain a hot topic this summer—or next season if they make a deep playoff run.
