Can the Rockets’ Bold New Duo of Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith Ignite an Unstoppable Championship Run?
But the Rockets lost a seven-game first-round series to the seventh-seeded Golden State Warriors and did not have the on-ball creation necessary to make a serious run. So they added one of the more malleable superstars ever in Kevin Durant, albeit for his age-37 season.
Houston didn’t stop there, either, bringing in Dorian Finney-Smith and Clint Capela as new additions, re-signing Aaron Holiday and Jae’Sean Tate, and extending the contracts of Fred VanVleet, Jabari Smith Jr. and Steven Adams.
The new additions are exciting and vault Houston into the tier of teams directly below the NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder. But for the Rockets to win in the playoffs, they’re going to need one of their returning talents to play to his potential.
