In recent days, Rockets forward Kevin Durant said when talking about the scene when he was traded by the Suns that during the offseason, the Rockets took a quick move and finally got Durant from the Suns. In fact, in February this year, before the trading deadline of last season, the Warriors were interested in Durant. They wanted to bring Durant back to Oakland and reshape the glory of that year. But Durant "had been bitten by a snake once, and was afraid of the rope for ten years." He refused the Warriors' recruitment.

Although the Suns were interested in sending him to the Warriors at that time, Durant and his agent directly refused. In the end, the Suns traded Durant to the Rockets during the offseason, just a few months ago. In this way, the Rockets and Warriors' overall strength has reversed. After the Rockets got Durant, they finally ushered in the most perfect lineup, and their offense and defense were very balanced. The Warriors not only did not get superstar Durant, but Kuminga made their team uneasy and had not signed very well so far. If the Fire Yong meets again next season, the Rockets' winning rate will be extremely high.

The Rockets' starting lineup does not have much suspense: double guard Van Vrett and Amen Thompson, two forwards Durant and Smith Jr., and ace center Shin Kyung, who is in the interior. Their bench, which is the second team, is also quite powerful. This lineup has super strong frontcourt depth. Among the 30 teams in the NBA League, the frontcourt depth of the Rockets bench is also top-notch. No team dares to say that their frontcourt depth is better than that of the Rockets.

Let's take a look: The Rockets renewed the contract with veteran Adams this summer, gave him a three-year, 39 million middle-class contract, and signed the old player "Biu King" Clint Capela for 3 years, 21.5 million. In this case, let alone the Rockets have super center Shin Kyung, just talking about the combination of Capela and Adams, most teams are worthy of the starting lineup. There are five tiger players on the front line, namely Ethan, Finney Smith, Tate, Okogie and Jeff Green.

Although only five substitute strikers, most of their players have the opportunity to enter the rotation lineup when they go to, so the Rockets' frontcourt depth is really top-notch. Their second team's front-court depth is even better than most teams' front-court depth. Although the Rockets' second team does not have a superstar in the frontcourt, these players are all practical players. With Shepard and Holiday in the backcourt, the overall strength of the Rockets' second team next season is even stronger than some mid- and downstream NBA teams.

Don't forget, the Rockets' most elite are their starting lineup: the "European Championship center king" Alperen Shinkyung, the front line, Durant and Smith Jr., and the offensive engine Van Vreett, the backcourt, and Amen Thompson, an all-around defender with strong defensive ability and good at scoring in the interior. The Rockets' lineup is theoretically not inferior to any team's starting lineup and substitute lineup. But the problem is that the Rockets need to produce chemical reactions quickly. Considering that the Rockets' first 20 games of the regular season are very difficult, with few home games and more away games, they face some strong teams at the playoff level and even championship level, so at the beginning of the game, the Rockets' record may be unsatisfactory. But the Rockets' lineup is full of momentum. As long as they pass the first 20 games and find chemistry, the Rockets will really have a chance to see who will destroy whom.
