The 4th time! 1 for 8 joining the league No. 3: NBA 2 god-level record is about to be born!

The NBA trading market in 2025 can be called the craziest year in NBA history! Before the trading deadline, the core players of the Kings, Lakers, Mavericks and Heat (Fox, Davis, Doncic, Butler) of the four teams (Fox, Davis, Doncic, Butler) were all traded. With such a mid-season trading scale, this is only one time in the entire NBA history! Before the finals ended, two super deals occurred in the league. Bain was sent to the Magic for 1 for 7, and Durant joined the Rockets for 1 for 8. After the free market was fully opened, a trading frenzy quickly set off. A series of active league-level players such as Holiday, Porzingis, Bain, Ball, CJ McCollum, Porter Jr., Jaylen Green, Ayton, Cameron Johnson, all switched to teams.

The contract renewal market is even more frequent, and the layoffs have also occurred in the market for layoffs. Lillard was laid off for contracts of over 100 million yuan, setting a record for the NBA. Not only that, Bill, who also has a contract of over 100 million yuan, is also on the road to layoffs. The player market in 2025 is destined to be recorded in the history of the NBA!

The 4th time - 1 for 8 joining the third place in the league!

But if we want to talk about the largest transaction, we must give Durant a 1-for-8 transaction between the Suns and the Rockets! For Durant, this is the fourth time he has changed teams in his career. He joined the Warriors from the Thunder in 2016, from the Warriors to the Nets in 2019, from the Nets to the Suns in 22 years, and now from the Suns to the Rockets! After leaving the Warriors, Durant won only two rounds of the series in 6 seasons (the Nets 4-0 Celtics in the first round of 2021, and the Suns 4-1 Clippers in the first round of 2023). Combined with the environment he is in, it is a bit unreasonable for his teammates to deliver such a result.

The Suns, where Durant is located in the 2024-25 season, although they have two all-star teammates Booker and Bill, these three need enough ending rights to produce good chemical reactions. They have a short highlight at the beginning of the season. As Durant's injury record plummeted, he finally achieved only the eleventh place in the West! After the offseason began, many teams chased Durant, and finally agreed with Durant to join the Suns and scored 52 wins and 30 losses last season, ranking third in the league and second in the West, Houston Rockets, launched an attack on the third championship in his career!

The young Rockets performed beyond expectations in the regular season last season. We could expect this team to improve, but no one expected that they would eventually win the second place in the Western Conference, where there were many powerful people. After coming to the playoffs, facing the Warriors led by Curry, Butler and Zhu Meng Green in the first round, although the team played the strength of the young team and raised the physical confrontation to the historical level, due to the obvious shortcomings of the team, they were finally eliminated in the tiebreak! After the offseason began, the Rockets management was united, from trading to signing, and the right medicine was used to strengthen the shortcomings exposed by the team last season! Durant's arrival solved the team's positional score and key ball handling issues. DFS's joining made up for the vacancy of Dillon's departure. Shepard's stay in the new season will inevitably get more opportunities. I believe this is also the main reason why the Rockets did not introduce defenders. It is impossible not to give Shepard a stable rotation time all the time!

NBA 2 god-level records are about to be born!

The Rockets have the core regular rotation lineup of Durant, Amen, Shinkin, Van Vleet, DFS, Jay Jr. Ethan, Adams, Shepard, Jeff Green, Holiday, Capela! Through this lineup, careful Fire fans will definitely find a problem. The Rockets' lineup configuration is different from any team Durant has ever been to in the past. During the Thunder period, there were Westbrook and Harden; during the Warriors period, there were Curry and Clay; during the Nets period, there were Harden and Irving; during the Suns period, there were Booker and Bill! Westbrook, Harden, Curry, Clay, Harden, Irving, Booker, and Bill are all stars who need to take action. Except for Clay, the other seven players have average defensive abilities, and are typical of strong offense and weak defense! In summary, Durant has had super teammates diluting the ball in the first 16 seasons of his career, and has no unlimited firepower, and has a lot of pressure on the defensive end.

And there are no super stars in the Rockets lineup, they are all defensive players. Against this background, Durant joins the Rockets, and two god-level records in NBA history are about to be born!

Durant may set the first NBA record in the new season: the oldest scoring champion in NBA history!

As of July 2025, the oldest scoring champion in NBA history is Michael Jordan. He averaged 28.7 points per game in the 1997-1998 season with a 35-year-old score. After joining the Rockets in the new season, Durant's shooting saturation will reach his career's highest. When he comes to the Rockets, he only uses points, points, and points. He doesn't need to consider other dirty and tiring tasks. Last season, Durant averaged only 18.8 shots, scored 26.6 points, shooting percentage of 52% and three-point shooting percentage of 43%! Considering the Rockets' environment, Durant's number of shots will inevitably increase, not only does he have no chance to win the scoring champion, Durant is 37 years old next season, and has the opportunity to become the oldest scoring champion in NBA history!

The second NBA record that Durant may set in the new season: the first player in NBA history to be selected into the best team among 5 different teams!

Durant's top four teams in his career have been selected for the best team. As long as the Rockets do not have major problems in the new season, the regular season record will definitely be guaranteed. Then it is a foregone conclusion that Durant is selected for the best team. In this way, he will become the first player in NBA history to be selected for the best team among 5 different teams!
