How terrifying are the NBA Rockets offense and defense strength in the new season?

On July 2, Houston media wrote an article to analyze the terrifying strength of the offense and defense ends after the NBA Rockets' recruitment upgraded in the new season. Will it definitely become the real new king of the West in the 2025-2026 season?

The Rockets' trading upgrade in the offseason is very fast: they first renewed the contract with center Adams for 3 years and $39 million; then sent Jaylen Green + Dillon Brooks + the next five second round draws to get superstar Durant; reached a two-year, $50 million contract renewal with champion defender Van Vritte; reached a five-year, $122 million contract renewal with young forward Jabbarri Smith in advance; completed a basic salary renewal with three veterans Tate, Jeff Green and Aaron Holiday; signed forward Finney Smith for 4 years and $53 million; and signed center player Capela for 3 years and $21.5 million.

The Rockets' starting lineup in the new season can be a combination of Van Vreet + Amen Thompson + Durant + Smith + Shinkyung, while the second substitute can form a lineup of Shepard + Whitmore + Tari Ethan + Finney + Smith + Adams. The lineups of these two teams are very competitive on both ends of offense and defense.

Also, the third lineup also came with Aaron Holiday + Tate + Jeff Green + Capela and others as the main body, and they can make guest appearances with the second substitute at any time. Indeed, the Rockets' signings and promotions in the offseason are very successful. As long as they reach a chemical reaction early, they will truly become the new king team in the West. Sprinting to the championship in the future is no longer a luxury!
