Durant + Antetokounmpo s battle! Famous mouth analysis: Rockets rank second, and you need to be a superstar in the championship

To win the championship, a team must have top superstars, just like this season's finals team. The Pacers have stars like Halliburton and Siakam, while the Thunder have superstars like Alexander and regular season MVP, and Jaylen Williams is also an NBA All-Star player. Both the Bucks' Antetokounmpo and the Suns' Durant seem to be traded this summer's offseason.

And the Rockets are only one superstar missing from the championship. In the playoffs this season, the Rockets performed poorly on the offensive end and were eliminated by the Warriors. If the Rockets can have a superstar who can score in the lineup, and with some outstanding young players and veterans of the Rockets, they will have a chance to win the championship.

Durant and Antetokounmpo are both potential pursuit targets for the Rockets. But it has to be said that although the Rockets have a lot of bargaining chips, there are also many teams competing with the Rockets. Compared with Durant, Antetokounmpo is obviously younger and more dominant, and the Rockets will definitely choose Antetokounmpo first. But if Antetokounmpo stays with the Bucks or is traded to other teams, the Rockets should chase Durant with all their might - the 36-year-old superstar who can contribute 26 points per game, is still the Rockets' best choice.

So, in the battle between Durant and Antetokounmpo, what position is the Rockets in? NBA celebrity Stephen A. Smith believes that the Rockets will be the second-favorable team for Antetokounmpo and Durant. He believes that in addition to the New York Knicks, Durant and Antetokounmpo's most likely next home is the Houston Rockets.

A・Smith is a fan of the Knicks, so he must put his home team first. In his opinion, some teams that failed to enter the finals still lack a finalist this season. Durant or Antetokounmpo are such players, and the Rockets have a lot of trading chips. In his opinion, the Rockets are completely likely to become the second next home of Antetokounmpo and Durant. As long as the Rockets can get one of them, their overall lineup will improve by leaps and bounds next season.

A Smith believes that although Jaylen Green is good, he is still not ready and has not yet the ability to become a top scorer on the outside. If Antetokounmpo goes to the Rockets, then he has Van Vreet, Shin Kyung and other excellent players, and such a Rockets will be quite powerful. Compared with the Knicks, the Rockets are obviously more qualified to trade because the Rockets have a lot of bargaining chips, such as the first round picks of the three Suns in the future, the Rockets' "Seven Sons" of the Rockets, and the Rockets have expired contracts, as well as instant players such as Dillon Brooks and Van Vreett, which can also be traded.

As long as there are superstars who are willing to come to the Rockets, the Rockets will definitely consider it carefully. At least famous A Smith believes that the Rockets are the most likely place for Antetokounmpo and Durant to go outside the Knicks.
