Everyone will take a shot at Kevin Durant.
That is just how these things work, it is just a matter of what Kevin Durant wants to do once free agency comes.
I don’t think he knows at the moment, but depending on how the season goes the picture will get clearer on what he might do.
Rockets have positioned themselves to make a run and the Houston Chronicle outlines how they are going to do it.
The Rockets won’t simply have an open spot. They’ll have cash and flexibility. They’ll have a short-term vision (NBA championship) and long-term sights (more championships). And if it all works and multiple moves click at once – just like they did when Ty Lawson, Harden and Howard suddenly showed up Monday night in downtown Houston – the Rockets could re-sign D12 and ink OKC’s current No. 35 in a single crazy summer.
The potential of Durant in Rockets red already makes basketball and fiscal sense. And don’t think Harden’s ex-teammate – who still has strong ties in Austin and acknowledged Houston feels comfortable – hasn’t noticed what owner Leslie Alexander and general manager Daryl Morey have done to the place in the last few years.
Everyone is going to shoot their shot, just a matter who will hit all net.
