The Houston Rockets made a huge swing trading for Kevin Durant. Now, they must decide whether to keep him around after the 2025-26 campaign.

On the outside looking in, the Rockets do appear to be one of the top contenders in the NBA. Alongside Durant, Houston has players like Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr., Amen Thompson, and Fred VanVleet in the starting lineup. They also have great depth featuring Dorian Finney-Smith, Clint Capela, Steven Adams, Reed Sheppard, and Tari Eason.
