Durant wants to win the Rockets and must recruit this person in person

Durant still lacks one person to win the championship. What exactly happened? It's incredible!

Durant jumped from the Suns to the Rockets as he wished. This is the result he is very willing to see. Why do you say that? Because the Rockets are strong enough, they are second in the Western Conference last season.

And the Rockets not only got Durant, they also grabbed forward player Smith from the Lakers. He also renewed his contract with center Adams, and obtained the old center Capela from the Hawks, and also obtained the defensive strongman Okogi. The Rockets can be said to have improved their strength much more than last season after this series of operations. However, if they want to rush out in the West and reach the finals, there is probably one person missing! This person is Westbrook, who has not found a job yet.

Why do you say so? Because the Rockets' back line is still relatively weak, although they renewed their contract with starting defender Van Jordan, their substitute still lacks a defender who can organize. Shepard is obviously not such a person.

Will Westbrook be very suitable as the Rockets' substitute point guard, he performed very well in the Nuggets last season, contributing wonderful performances both as a starter and as a substitute.

Westbrook's performance was crucial for the Nuggets to eliminate the Clippers in the playoffs last season. Although he sometimes loses power at critical moments, he still performs very well most of the time.

And if Durant wants to win the Rockets, he must recruit Westbrook himself! Why do you say so? The main reasons are the following, and the last reason is the most important.

The first reason is that Westbrook can help the Rockets. Everyone knows that Van Jordan is sometimes very unreliable and will make wild blacksmiths on the offensive end. His ability to lead his teammates to score is also very average.

If the Rockets can get Westbrook, he can make up for Van Jordan's shortcomings in organizing offense. Especially Westbrook can lead the Rockets' substitute and perform very well on the offensive end.

The second reason is that Durant owes Westbrook. Durant betrayed Westbrook and joined the Warriors, which made Westbrook very angry and also broke up between the two.

If Durant can ignore his past grudges, invite Westbrook to join the Rockets and win the championship in the end, this will definitely become a beautiful story. Is this the truth?
