Rockets’ 3 Keys to Breakthrough | Houston Rockets News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Houston Rockets are back with Kevin Durant, aiming for a healthier, more balanced season after a frustrating playoff exit and brutal bench struggles last year. With key returns of Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams—and new additions like Marcus Smart and Bogdan Bogdanović—they’re targeting three critical fixes: smarter Durant usage, a suddenly productive bench, and a drastic reduction in turnovers. Last season’s top rebounding and defense weren’t enough to crack the West’s elite—now they’ve got
Bruce Thornton’s NBA Ceiling | Houston Rockets News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bruce Thornton, Houston’s new guard, made waves in Summer League with a standout performance—leading in points and assists—and boasts the scoring prowess and physicality of Jalen Brunson and Lu Dort.

While Houston isn’t forced to move him, another slow start could accelerate talks, pitting the Rockets’ short-term window against Durant’s legacy. With a crowded trade market featuring stars like Trey Murphy III a
Kyrie to Houston? Risky Trade Analysis | Houston Rockets News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rumors swirl of a bold trade that could send Kyrie Irving to Houston, swapping him for Fred VanVleet and Reed Sheppard. While VanVleet’s return promises veteran leadership and elite playmaking, Sheppard’s breakout season—scoring 13 PPG and hitting 40% from three while locking down defensively—makes him a steal. But Kyrie’s age, injury history, and past chemistry issues with Durant raise serious red flags. With Houston’s offense still shaky without VanVleet last year, this deal feels like a high-
