James is still strong at the age of 40. The Rockets trade Durant. He has no championship in 30 years, and it will be enough for 4 years.

The Rockets have been very successful this year. From not entering the playoffs last year, to second place in the regular season this year, to playing 7 games with Curry, Butler and Green in the playoffs. As a youth team, they have played very well, but the better the performance, the higher the expectations. Since there is hope, we must make hope come true. But if we really want to win the championship, the distance is still far. Even if Harden's Rockets achieved such a good regular season record in the past, it is still not possible, so Durant needs to fight!

Now look at how many years have the Rockets not won the championship? In 1994 and 1995, the Rockets won two championships under the leadership of Olajuwon. Since then, the team has never scored in the championship again!

And then the combination of Yao Ming and McGrady later, it can be said that he is talented and has better talent than the current Rockets team. The lineup at that time was very strong, including Yao Ming, Bathil, Artest, McGrady, and Scola, but the opponent was too strong, and this lineup failed to reach the Western Conference Finals. The best result was only the second round of the Western Conference. After

, we went to the Rockets led by Harden. Harden has partnered with Paul and Howard. Harden has also achieved good results in the playoffs, but for various reasons, including Harden's own lack of strength, Howard and Paul's injuries, and when he was the strongest, he encountered Cosmic Brave. It would be better for Harden to lead the Rockets to just enter the Western Conference Finals.

It can be seen how difficult it is to win a championship. It is no exaggeration to say that it is difficult to reach the top. Since Olajuwon won the championship, he has not even made it to the finals in the next 30 years. Therefore, the Rockets are young and have potential, but potential does not represent the championship!

On the surface, the Rockets made it to the playoffs in the first year and fought the Warriors for seven games, which is already very powerful, but in fact, they are still far from the championship. Not to mention the championship, even if they are far from the Western Conference Finals! But, with a chance, I hope very much!

So, for the Rockets, the biggest problem now is how to transform potential and hope into a strong contender for the championship. This year's playoffs have already told us the answer that the team lacks a scoring player!

In the 7 games with the Warriors, each of them was very stalemate, which was just a few goals, but no one could do it. Jaylen Green averaged more than 20 points per game in the regular season. In the playoffs, most games did not exceed 10 points. His poor performance just happened to reflect the unlimited potential of this Rocket.

Then the Rockets only need to do one thing, that is, trade a scoring attacker, and this player is Durant. In fact, for the Rockets, there are actually not many choices. As for the current NBA, there is really no need to find a suitable player who can score strongly in the playoffs!

Let's take a look at the performance of the stars in the playoffs. Booker and Bill of the Suns are unreliable and unstable. Paul George, who is 76ers, has dropped significantly. Harden of the Clippers proves that he is not suitable for playing in the playoffs. Leonard of the Clippers is no longer as strong as his peak period. Even Jokic, the number one player in the league, has a shooting percentage of only more than 30% in the game against the Thunder.

Therefore, it is difficult to find a star who can really play a role in the playoffs. Durant is the best choice for the Rockets.

So for Durant, the only question that needs to be worried about is his age. He is already 36 years old this year. Is it worth the team's big price to get him? To put it bluntly, it is worth it! According to James's situation, 40 years old is still very strong, so Durant can barely hold on until he is 40 years old. It is still expected that he can shine and heat for 4 years. It is completely enough. 4 years is enough.

After the Rockets found Durant, they could let him play the role of Duncan of the Spurs back then. In the regular season, they would just have the meaning and no need to consume too much energy. After the playoffs, they would show their power. Even if Durant declined very well, he would still hold it in his hands just playing in the playoffs! It is not a problem to let him rest more and extend his lifespan of two or three years! Just treat Amen as a little card and let Durant help Amen usually, and just make a successful playoff game.

What I fear most now is that the Rockets hesitate and always feel that the team has the potential to wait, but the result of waiting is like the Thunder back then, and in the end, I won’t get anything. Even after the Warriors selected Curry, Thompson, and Green, they also called Durant and Wiggins later. Without outsiders' help, it would not work. The last two years have been the bonus period for Rockets rookies. Once they delayed for another two or three years, they would have to get a big contract and the team would be finished.

James is still very strong at the age of 40. The Rockets trade Durant. He has no championship in 30 years, and it will be enough for 4 years.
