This will be the starting five and rotation of the Houston Rockets after signing Kevin Durant
We analyze how the rotation of the Texas franchise could be after incorporating KD and his championship aspirations with this team.
Great emotions are on the horizon this upcoming season in the NBA with the arrival of Kevin Durant at the Houston Rockets, a signing that completely changes the course of the Texan franchise and, in general, the entire competition. It is worth taking a look at how the starting five would look and what roles other players would play.
Abundant young talent, a coach with a strong personality like Ime Udoka, and now, one of the greatest scorers of all time. The arrival of Kevin Durant cements an exciting project that will still require sports and financial adjustments. Other moves that will balance the team's accounts are not ruled out, as the focus in the coming seasons will be on retaining Amen Thompson and competing for the championship in the next two seasons, considering that KD will maintain his top form during this time.
A starting five with Fred VanVleet, Jabari Smith, Kevin Durant, Amen Thompson, and Alperen Sengun would be the most likely, although it may be a team too tall and lacking a fast player who can create his own shots. Therefore, it is expected that young players Cam Whitmore and Reed Sheppard could see their influence grow, while Tari Eason and Jae´Sean Tate will continue to be crucial off the bench to provide offensive bite. Steven Adams will be a luxury backup for Sengun, thus having a deep and reliable rotation to face the challenges of a season as complex and exciting as the one ahead for the Houston Rockets.
