Sign him quickly! If Durant wants to win the Rockets, he must recruit this person himself, Van Jordan needs him

Durant is eager to win the championship, but it seems that he is still missing a key figure. What exactly happened is unbelievable?

Durant then transferred from the Suns to the Rockets as he wished, and the result was as he had always dreamed of. Why is he deeply satisfied with this? The reason is that the Rockets are quite strong overall, and they achieved second place in the West in their performance last season. The Rockets not only won Durant, but also continuously strengthened their lineup in the transfer market, successfully introducing forward player Smith from the Lakers. In addition, they also renewed the contract with center Adams and regained the center Capela, who has declined but still has potential from the Hawks, and also introduced Okogi, who is good at defense. After this series of transactions and contract renewals, the Rockets' comprehensive strength has been significantly improved compared to last season.

However, even though the Rockets have made many improvements in the lineup, they still need to join a key player in the competition in the West and make the finals. This player is Westbrook, who has not yet found a new club. If you analyze it carefully, you can find that the Rockets' back line structure is relatively weak. Although they have renewed their contract with starting guard Van Jordan, the team still lacks a defender who can effectively organize the offense in the substitute position. Apparently, Shepard was not competent on this task, so Westbrook became an ideal choice.

Westbrook, as the Rockets' substitute point guard, can effectively fill this vacancy. He performed extremely well in the Nuggets last season. Whether he was a starter or a substitute, he could always contribute many wonderful moments to the team. Westbrook's outstanding performance is even more indispensable in allowing the Nuggets to eliminate the Clippers in the playoffs. Although he may be in poor form at some critical moments, overall, his performance is still worthy of recognition.

The reason why Durant wanted to compete for the Rockets' championship and invited Westbrook to join can be mainly attributed to the following points. And the last point is particularly important.

First, Westbrook was able to provide practical help to the Rockets. As we all know, Van Jordan's performance at critical moments can make people feel worried. He has poor stability on both offense and defense and often makes frequent mistakes in the offensive stage. His ability to lead teammates to score is relatively limited. If Westbrook can be introduced, he will inevitably make up for Van Jordan's shortcomings in organizational offense, especially when he comes on the bench, which will improve the team's overall offensive efficiency.

Secondly, the old love between Durant and Westbrook is not over. He once betrayed Westbrook for joining the Warriors. This move not only made the latter angry, but also caused the relationship between the two to be broken. If Durant can now ignore past grudges and actively extend an olive branch to Westbrook, invite him to join the Rockets and eventually win the championship, and review their grudges and hatreds, this will undoubtedly become a beautiful legendary story, leaving room for fans for extensive discussion.

In short, although Durant's dream is gradually realizing, on the way to the championship, he still needs Westbrook, a teammate who can fight with him, overcome the challenges and ultimately realize their championship vision. Only in this way can the Rockets truly maximize their strength and move towards glory.
