Refusing to return to the Warriors! Take the initiative to stop the trade, Durant analyzes thoroughly, and the Rockets become the only choice

The Rockets formed the Invincible Iron Army in the offseason. Based on the original fifth-place defense, the Rockets got Durant, who was both offensive and defensive. And the price paid is extremely low, and with Okogi and electric fan Capela, the Rockets' defense next season is quite suffocating. Because 9 of the team have arm spans exceeding seven feet [2.13 meters]. The entire line of defense has been strengthened, to say an exaggeration. If the Rockets cannot enter the top three in the league in the new season, it is Uduka's dereliction of duty. The Rockets almost equip Uduka with the defensive resources he has been pursuing for the rest of his life, and Durant's ability to make a final decision at a critical moment has greatly improved the Rockets' finishing ability. Uduka's hand may be the best since he left the Celtics. In fact, both Uduka and Durant want to prove themselves. Uduka led the Celtics to lose to the Warriors in 22 years, and led the Rockets to the Seventh Seventh again by the Warriors last season. Durant wanted to leave the Warriors and prove that he was not lying down and winning two championships.

This is also the reason why Durant refused to return to the Warriors on this year's trading deadline. For Durant, even if he returns to the Warriors and wins the championship, it has nothing to do with him. To put it bluntly, the Warriors wanted not Butler but Durant at the first time, and they couldn't settle for the second best. Durant also recently talked about his reasons for rejecting the Warriors at the Game Plan Sports Business Summit, and admitted that he personally stopped the Warriors' deal with the Suns.

In February of this year, the Suns wanted to trade Durant, which made him very unhappy. Then the Suns wanted to force Durant to the Warriors, after all, there was no veto on the transaction. But Durant spoke through his agent Rich Kleiman that if the deal gets him, he will not renew his contract. The Warriors saw that they had to pay a lot of money for Durant, but they only had one year's right to use it, so let it go. So the Warriors got Butler, and only paid Wiggins, Lee Kel Schroder and others and the first round pick.

If Durant is replaced, the Suns will not agree to these chips. We can understand Durant, just like he was criticized for 1.5. In fact, joining the Warriors was Durant's most wrong decision. If he had joined the Rockets and cooperated with his third brother Harden or went to the Spurs at that time, he might not have had the bad impact of joining the Warriors. If you can't defeat it, you will surrender to the enemy, which is also a mockery in the United States. Later, Durant forced the Nets to go to the Suns, and he was stimulated to see the Warriors reaching the top again in 22 years.

Durant really wants to win a first championship of his own, rather than the two unrecognized champions who joined the Warriors. So Durant said at the end of the interview that he was very excited to be traded to the Rockets in the offseason. Based on the current league trend and strength analysis, the Rockets are indeed Durant's last chance to redemption. Durant said the Rockets attached great importance to him. As soon as the Suns put him on the trading stage, the Rockets quickly took action. Of course, refusing to return to the Warriors also made Durant miss the opportunity to renew his contract in advance. Jimmy Butler has a 2-year, 121 million contract extension, and if Durant returns to the Warriors, that is his contract.

But in the Rockets, Durant has a chance to get 121 million in two years, he just wants to fight for a breath. "Before you come, we will be the champion. After you leave, we will still be the champion." This formula is too lethal, but it is undeniable that the Rockets and Durant are perfectly adapted. The Rockets are the second-place record in the West without Durant, which is similar to the Warriors' record in joining Durant and joining the league. The Rockets have two cornerstones, Shin Kyung and Amen, and their lower limit abilities are already very high. Durant's role is actually similar to that of the Warriors, and he shivered at a critical moment. But the difference between the Rockets and the Warriors is that the Warriors' championship has nothing to do with Durant, and even if you win the FMVP, you will not be recognized. But if you win the championship with the Rockets, Durant is the real boss, which is decisive.
