Duran s characteristic name is Westbrook! The Rockets operation is too ruthless

3:02pm, 2 July 2025【Basketball】

Is Westbrook going back to Houston? The Heat suddenly intercepted the fool! Is this a matter of brotherhood or commercial hype?

Guess what, there is another big news recently, and the scandal between Westbrook and the Rockets is rumored. Back then, Westbrook was a tough guy who averaged 27.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 7.0 assists per game in the Rockets. Although the "MVP backcourt" formed with Harden did not win the championship, the impact force still makes people excited. Rockets fans love him so much. Every time he breaks through with the ball, the shouts from Toyota Center can overturn the roof. But later, when he went to the Lakers, Clippers, and Nuggets, Westbrook's life was so bumpy, with his salary dropping from 46.3 million to a minimum salary of 780,000. Who can bear the gap?

Look at the Heat again, the recent rumors about the deal with Westbrook have caused storms. The Heat's offense this season was awkward, with the three giants Butler, Adebayo and Hiro working together to stumbling, and the average score per game was the last in the league. They want to introduce Westbrook to activate the offense, but can Westbrook's rampant playing style be compatible with the Heat's system? Fans are worried, if these three giants are present at the same time, what will the space be like?

On the other hand, the Rockets have made quite a move recently. First, he used 8 for 1 to get Durant, then renewed his contract with Udoka, and left Adams behind. Udoka's iron-blooded system emphasizes discipline and team, which just can suppress Westbrook's violent temper. Not to mention Adams, the pick-and-roll cooperation with Westbrook back then was a tacit understanding. Adams averaged 16.6 points and 12.7 rebounds per game, which was simply Westbrook's best partner in breaking through and passing the ball. Now that the Rockets have Durant, a super scorer, and Westbrook's impact and experience, this lineup is exciting to think about.

Some people say, "Westbrook's playing style is too naive, and it will cause trouble for the Rockets." Some people retorted: "Westbrook's professional attitude is nothing to say. Just fight for him on the court, and the Rockets should sign him!" Some fans joked: "If the third young master of the Thunder reunites with the Rockets, the ratings will definitely be overwhelming. Even if he doesn't win the championship, the Rockets can make a fortune."

Let's be honest, what Westbrook lacks most now is a place that allows him to play with peace of mind. The Rockets have old teammates and the ability to compete for the championship, and can realize his dream of winning. If he really could come back, he could not only be Durant's right-hand man, but also teach young people like Amen Thompson. Just like he said: "I will do my best in the future, and fans will see it."

Regardless of whether this matter will be successful in the end, Westbrook's story deserves our respect. From the Third Young Master Thunder to the Wandering Prodigal Son, what he has never changed is his love for basketball. Brothers, do you think Westbrook should return to the Rockets? The veteran will not die, but will just change the battlefield. If Westbrook can return to Houston, it will not only be a personal salvation, but also a continuation of a legend. The Rockets' championship dream may be the last piece of puzzle. Let's wait and see if this triple-double king can write new glory in Aerospace City!
