Durant can no longer hesitate, the Rockets are missing one player to win the championship, Van Jordan is not enough

Durant has the worries of happiness? What exactly happened? It's incredible!

Everyone knows that Durant has run from the Suns to the Rockets, which may be the strongest team he will join since leaving the Warriors. After all, the Rockets were the second in the West last season, and they had many young and powerful players.

Durant has never reached the Finals since leaving the Warriors. He formed the Big Three with Irving and Harden at the Nets, and they almost won the championship, but unfortunately they were so lucky that they were eventually eliminated by the Bucks.

Later, Durant joined the Suns, which had just reached the finals, and wanted to ride the bike and win the championship again like the Warriors. Unfortunately, things went against their expectations, the sun finally fell apart, and Durant had to leave again.

Now that Durant has arrived at the powerful Rockets, he will surely achieve better results. At least it will no longer be as handsome as the Suns in the playoffs. After all, the Rockets can beat more people than the Suns, and Durant has no way out.

The Rockets are indeed strong in the inside and on the front line! In the inside, they have three powerful players, Shin Kyung, Adams and Capela. Not to mention the front line, it has powerful players such as Durant, Thompson and Smith.

But the Rockets have another weak position, that is, their organizational guards are not good. Although Van Jordan was left behind, his strength on both offense and defense was very unstable. Especially his team-leading ability is poor and he cannot fully drive his teammates to score.

So if the Rockets want to win the championship, they must also add a defender, especially a defender who is good at leading teammates to score. Only in this way can the Rockets become very perfect and have the ability to win the championship.

And in the free market, there are two more defenders who have not found their next home, namely Paul and Westbrook. As long as the Rockets get one of these two people, their strength will definitely be enhanced.

Durant and these two have been teammates, and I believe that as long as he comes forward to recruit, he will succeed. But who should Durant choose? This is indeed a happy trouble.

Durant and Westbrook have been teammates in the Thunder for many years, but they broke up later, but they have reconciled in recent years. If they can continue their relationship and win the Rockets' championship, it will become a good story. Do you think this is the reason?
