Two aces exchange KD! Uduka takes a desperate bet: either win the championship or rebuild collapses

In the trading plan proposed by the Suns, the Rockets only need to pay young players and draft picks to win the superstar. For a team that has accumulated seven first-round picks in three years and has potential stocks such as Jaylen Green and Shen Jing, this seems to be a good opportunity to exchange for top combat power with redundant resources. As The Athletic commented: "Durant can make the Rockets jump from a playoff team to a favorite to win the championship." The more realistic contradiction lies in the timeline: when core players such as Green and Amen Thompson reach their peak, Durant may have retired. Former Rockets player Louis Williams said bluntly: "Let young people play supporting roles for Durant is equivalent to extinguishing their growth flames with their own hands." If the Rockets bet on Durant, they may be able to briefly strive for the championship, but may interrupt the painstaking reconstruction plan. As analyst Parsons said: "Trading KD means that the Rockets must win the championship immediately. After all, there are not many peak periods left in KD, and the contract period is only one year.

Rockets fans still have great expectations for KD. After all, seeing the disaster-like offensive performance of the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs, you will know how much the Rockets need KD. This is also Uduka's persistence in Durant, but the Rockets management also has voices that he should give Jaylen Green a little more patience, but obviously the fans are disappointed with him. The average per game in the playoffs is only 13 points, compared with Cunningham, the No. 1 pick proves the truth. Yuan's strength, but the second place is still in the process. So Green's replacement for Durant is definitely a major upgrade, and the Rockets may be able to truly distinguish the strength to attack the championship.

The Rockets' real problem is whether to choose "quick success" or "cultivation". In the past three years, the defensive system created by coach Uduka has begun to show results. Shen Jing's support, Green's breakthrough, and Ethan's fighting constitute the team's foundation. If Durant, which requires a lot of ball rights, will inevitably shift the tactical focus, and the growth curve of young players may be forced to be interrupted. As Durant himself said: "The championship needs the right time and place, but only those who dare to gamble are qualified to win. "The answer to this big bet about the present and the future is about to be revealed. After the defensive core Dillon sent away, the future core Green's departure is equivalent to saying that the two aces are exchanged for KD! Uduka is desperate to take a bet, either win the championship or rebuild and collapse, come on, Houston Rockets!
