The Houston Rockets in the offseason are definitely one of the most eye-catching teams in the NBA!

From Durant's trade that caused a sensational league to the low-key but unlimited potential signing of Kevin Harris, the Rockets' operations make people sigh: "This team is really going to be serious!"

Durant joins: Rockets' king bomb

When Durant's name is associated with the Rockets, the whole league's attention is focused on Houston. Although the trading framework has not been completely finalized, one thing is certain - Durant's joining will completely change the future of the Rockets. As one of the most talented scorers in league history, his arrival not only improved the team's immediate combat power, but also made the Rockets jump from rebuilding the team to a favorite for the championship. What impact will the existence of Durant have on the Rockets' lineup chemistry? How will young players such as Jaylen Green and Jabbarry Smith adjust their roles? These issues have sparked widespread discussion. It is foreseeable that Durant's experience and skills will inject huge momentum into the young Rockets, and the overall style of the team will be redesigned around him.

Looking back at the history of the Rockets, this deal may be comparable to the operations of introducing Harden and even McGrady back then, but Durant's historical status and in-fighting power may be better. This is a big bet by the Rockets to launch an attack on the championship, and it is also an unprecedented opportunity.

Kevin Harris: Low-key reinforcement, high-potential future

Compared with Durant's super-level transaction, the Rockets' operation of signing Kevin Harris seems much lower-key. However, this G League "Next Up" All-Star MVP has potential that cannot be ignored. Harris' basketball journey is full of bumpy, but his performance in the G League proves his abilities: 19.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and a 42.1% three-point shooting percentage.

Harris' technical features are comprehensive and efficient, and his scoring ability and defensive awareness make him an excellent role player. As a two-way contract player, he not only provides depth to the Rockets, but also becomes a surprise in certain situations. The Rockets' signing also reflects the team's balance strategy between "immediate combat power" and "potential stocks". The flexibility of the two-way contract gives Harris a stage to show himself, and also provides guarantees for the Rockets to maintain cap space and lineup depth.

Rockets' long-term plan: From reconstruction to championship competition, the operation of the Rockets is not a simple "buy, buy, buy, buy, buy," but a well-thought-out strategic layout.

Reconstruction and championship balance

After introducing superstars like Durant, the Rockets have not forgotten the training of young players. Harris' signing and the growth of other young people in the team show that the team is not blindly pursuing short-term success, but hopes to ensure sustainable development in the future while competing for the championship.

Financially careful calculation

Durant's joining will undoubtedly put pressure on the salary space, but the Rockets avoid the risk of salary explosion through flexible operations, such as signing Harris with two-way contracts. This smart financial management leaves room for the team's future operations.

Challenges and expectations for lineup fusion

From Durant to Harris, and then to the existing core lineup, how to seamlessly integrate these players is a major issue facing the Rockets coaching staff. However, risks are often accompanied by huge returns. Once this team finds chemistry, their cap will be expected.

Future Outlook: Can the Rockets take off?

Whether it is Durant's superstar aura or Harris' potential reserve, the Rockets have demonstrated their ambitions this offseason. In the new season, can the Rockets stand out from the fierce competition in the West and become a real champion? Time will give the answer.

For fans, now is the best time to pay attention to this team. From every mid-range shot from Durant to every steal from Harris, the Rockets are using their actions to tell the world: Houston, get ready to welcome the new basketball era!
