Kevin Durant ‘very interested’ in Rockets — the feeling may not be mutual
NY Post
Who wouldn’t want Kevin Durant on their team?
Well, the Houston Rockets don’t.
While Durant is reportedly “very interested” in playing in Houston, the Rockets have their doubts about acquiring the Phoenix Suns star — mostly due to his age, according to The Athletic.
The 36-year-old has remained mostly healthy in recent years — now six seasons removed from his ruptured Achilles in his final game as a Warrior — but he wouldn’t quite match Houston’s timeline, as the majority of the Rockets core pieces are 24 or younger.
The Rockets are at a crossroads this offseason after their loaded young core led them to the No. 2 seed in the West before they ultimately fell in seven games to the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs.
As a competitive young team in the NBA, do you take a swing with a few of your several assets and land a proven star to try to better contend championship?
