The Rockets have multiple names in the top 100, including Sengun (No. 25), Thompson (No. 37) and Jabari Smith Jr. (No. 74). Durant has more than enough talent to compete for a championship and give his former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, a run for their money.

Durant spoke at the Game Plan Sports Business Summit last week about his final months with the Phoenix Suns, which culminated in a historic trade that saw him joining the Houston Rockets. According to Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic, KD said the Suns informed teams of his availability "around February."

It’s always interesting, to say the least, to see the two-time Finals MVP clapping back at fans, especially when they cross the line. Durant, who was traded to the Rockets in the offseason, has repeatedly said he likes going back-and-forth with fans on social media to reciprocate their energy.

Their deficiency in the playoffs was not having a go-to scorer,” a West scout said (via ESPN’s Tim Bontemps). “Now, they have Kevin Durant.”

The Dallas Mavericks ' trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers was as unexpected a move as anyone could have imagined. The 26-year-old superstar had perennially been an All-NBA First Team member and just led them to the Finals the season before. KD gave his take on the move.

The 36-year-old star was then traded to the Rockets in June, in a blockbuster deal that sent Dillon Brooks, Jalen Green, Houston's first-round draft pick and a host of a second-rounders back to the Valley of the Sun.

The Houston Rockets don’t really have time to wait around. Kevin Durant, whom they traded Jalen Green and the tenth overall pick for, is 37 years old. The time, it seems, is right now for the Rockets to compete for a title.
