On June 28, the NBA entered the offseason. In a previous 8-for-1 deal, the Rockets got Durant, and the Warriors star chasing dreams praised the Rockets for their upgrades. At the same time, Wade said when talking about the Heat's failure to pursue Durant, that Durant will not follow James. The Rockets finished second in the regular season Western Conference last season, but they were later eliminated 4-3 by the Warriors in the first round. In order to go further in the playoffs, the Rockets won Durant in an 8-for-1 deal, which has been widely praised, and the Rockets are considered one of the favorites to win the championship in the new season.

Regarding this deal, Warriors star Mengmeng Green gave an opinion on his podcast: "No matter who you are, when you have Durant, your lineup will be upgraded, and any basketball team in the world will be upgraded. That's Durant, and with him your lineup will be better... That's interesting. I think the Rockets have a good situation now, and they are definitely upgraded."

Heat were also one of the teams pursuing Durant, but they eventually failed. In response, team legend Wade said: "As early as ten years ago, when the Heat recruited Durant, I said that he would never be in the footsteps of James, and he would not follow James from the bottom of his heart. In this case, why should we recruit such a reluctant person? I didn't agree with the recruitment at that time, and now it's the same. But I'm very happy that he went to Houston, which is the right place for him. "

How far do you think the Rockets can go after getting Durant? What do you think of Wade's remarks?
