Rockets use of Durant has caused controversy? Stone s showdown is too hasty! Uduka s dilemma in using people

The Rockets exchanged Durant this summer, sending Jaylen Green, Dillon Brooks and several draft picks. Overall, the deal did not hurt the Rockets. Dillon Brooks' position can be replaced by Ethan, Amen Thompson, and even the new arrival of Finney Smith, while Jaylen Green is replaced by Durant. The Rockets' overall strength has not declined, but has risen sharply. After all, the Rockets suffered a loss last season in terms of offense. Durant is a top scorer in the league. He averaged 26 points per game last season, which is definitely not his limit. Next season, with other defensive players of the Rockets, Durant will have more offensive opportunities and more ball rights, and even have unlimited firepower. If Durant is willing, he can average 30 points per game.

But will the Rockets let Durant do this? Obviously not, after all, Durant is already a 37-year-old veteran. If he was 27 years old, the Rockets would definitely let Durant beat the whole game, whether it was the regular season or the playoffs. After all, Durant was young, but now it is completely different. Durant has become an absolute veteran. If you play too much time in the regular season next season, you will be afraid that if he is injured, the Rockets will not be able to play.

The Rockets' main lineups played in the playoffs last season and all failed in the first round, not to mention that if Durant is injured next season, it will be difficult for the Rockets to even make it through the first round in the playoffs. Therefore, many people suggest that the Rockets should use Durant with caution, control his playing time in the regular season, give him enough rest, and ensure his health. In the playoff series, Durant will play well and lead the team forward with 100% of his performance.

But according to Rockets' team reporter Rachard Bingley, Manager Stone doesn't think so. As the Rockets general manager, Rafael Stone showed up directly. He believes that Durant will play more games next season and will allow Durant to play as many games as possible, whether in the regular season or in the playoffs, but his statement is completely contradictory to the statement that many people want to reduce Durant's pressure.

So, how the Rockets will use Durant next season has caused a big and small controversy. Durant has no problem with his condition and his physical fitness at present. Last season, he showed the quality of a superstar in the Suns. The data is not ugly, and his personal performance is not controversial. However, among the Rockets, if Durant plays as much as possible as Stone said and plays too much in the regular season, it may affect his physical fitness and overall performance in the playoffs.

Rockets coach Uduka is expected to be in a dilemma next season, because if Durant plays in the regular season time, the Rockets' regular season record may not be good, may not necessarily surpass last season, and may not necessarily become second in the West; if Durant is allowed to play all his strength in the regular season and allow the Rockets to strive for a higher ranking, then no one knows whether Durant will be injured in the playoffs, let alone no one can tell.

If Durant plays less in the regular season, the Rockets' regular season record and ranking are not guaranteed; if Durant plays too much in the regular season, his performance in the playoffs will definitely be affected. How to reasonably allocate Durant's playing time and his physical fitness is also a question that the Rockets coaching staff needs to study. But obviously, Manager Stone asked Durant to play as much as possible, which was a bit hasty and would not benefit the Rockets' plan for next season.
