Kevin Durant to the Rockets

What Houston gave up seems incredibly appropriate for a 37 year old KD. Usually teams overpay for aging superstars.
He can be that guy when healthy. It’s the when healthy part that is an issue .
That’s the thing though. When you’re 37. Your body is going to break down a lot more than it did when you were 27. Instead of being that guy 70 times a season, you may only be that guy 10 times at 37.
The Rockets were a really odd team this past season.
2nd best record in the West and the leading scorer is someone who 95% of SPS has never heard of despite being an Allstars, and didn't even average 20ppg.
No 'big 3' collection of stars, whether up and coming or aging or a mix of both.
If Durant has a healthy season, he could be a huge scoring addition for the team.

The cog in that trade is Jalen Green. He’s a really good young player who can score in bunches.
I have a feeling Phoenix isn’t done. Right now they have a bit of a log jam at the guards. May move some more pieces.

Seems like KD has been around a long damn time, and I don’t follow the NBA. Is he just riding the wave and cashing in on his name at this point? Prolly.
