Can’t wait to see Kevin Durant getting buckets in a Rockets jersey instead of against players in Rockets jerseys 🚀
The Rockets have their work cut out for them this season, but it’s hard to deny how great a championship would be for the city of Houston
If Kevin Durant wins a ring with Houston, it’s hard to deny that he’s a top-10 player ever

Fred VanVleet was ranked by @hoopshype as the 17th-best PG in the NBA in their latest point guard-rankings article
VanVleet is said to be on the level below the league’s All-Stars, just All-Star caliber, but listed ahead of players like Kyrie Irving and Jalen Suggs
Kendrick Perkins said that the Rockets are the second-best team in the NBA after landing Kevin Durant
“I’m looking at the Rockets right now as the second-best team in the NBA, and they’re just inches behind the Oklahoma City Thunder.”
ESPN listed Reed Sheppard as the NBA’s most interesting sophomore to watch next season in its latest article
“Sheppard has the chance to be a huge swing factor in Houston’s title chase — in theory, he’s stepping into the perfect situation.”
Who else is hyped for Year 2 Reed?
Kevin Durant’s jumper is looking as smooth as it did before his offseason thumbs surgery 🔥
Durant said he would be ready to go for the regular season, and that looks to be true

Three of the 10 players who have an implied no-trade clause this season (the ability to veto a trade) are on the Rockets, per @HoopsRumors
Those three players are Fred VanVleet, Jae’Sean Tate, and Aaron Holiday, so expect them to stick around in Houston
Jabari Smith Jr said on a recent episode of the @OldManAndThree podcast that he wants to get better at playing physical
“There’s no reason I shouldn’t be trying to run through people (and) trying to attack. It’s just something I want to get better at.”
