While I like the NBA, I'm also waiting for the NCAA season to start. Still another 2 weeks though, which is quite sad. Watching NBA games sometimes is quite boring to be honest. Resting stars, lame atmosphere in the arena, players that are rich and don't show they really want it. NCAA is the complete opposite, guys are fighting for a future in this sport, arenas often are packed and loud, that's what I want to see.

Much more fun to watch, that's why the NCAA final 4 has a higher viewership than the NBA finals basically every year.

So Kevin Durant has signed a contract extension with Rockets. This partnership looks like it's going to last longer. Udoka also pointed that out in the interview.

After two seasons of steady progress and rebuilding, the Rockets have become a very competitive team. This season will be a great opportunity for them to prove themselves. Their first game against the Thunder is a perfect chance to send a message to the rest of the league.

Yeah, it really come a long way to those who anticipates it and now it's within our grasps. I've already placed my ¹st betbuilder for the Rockets and Thunder game, I do hope it turns out great.

He said he's good to retire in Rockets jersey. Yeah KD we heard it from your previous teams I guess, it's likely clear that time is ticking this time that's why he signed it.

The only reason why they are even remotely close to each other would be because Wemby is a questionable situation. His sickness is something that can not only put him on the sidelines for long time, but could even go as far as literally making him retire early.

I do hope it doesn't come to that, there are years of work that they can do to make him still play time to time and hope for the better, but that also means if it repeats then he will miss many games in many years. Whereas, if he does stay healthy and play many games, then Kings and Spurs are not even close. I would say Spurs could win 50+ games this season if everyone of their players are healthy. I know that doesn't sound possible to many people, but they are actually that good to do that when all is healthy.

Wemby is a big factor for the Spurs and like you mentioned his health may affect them much and similar to the post above it's also the chemistry of the whole squad, unless Fox and those rising rookies blends well this season they may achieved what's the main goal of the entire team, also adding to that is if how the management and the coach will play their role players to blend them well with their stars, still too early to conclude what this season will bring for this team but a healthy complete squad may bring big difference on the outcome of their campaign.

A 2-year $90M deal with a player option for 2027-2028. Both parties win for sure.

I guess the fact that Durant sees the Rockets as a title contender type of team is the reason why he agreed to have an extension, and maybe Coach Udoka is a factor on it as well. Durant's eligible for the max contract which is 2-year $120M, but he chooses to sacrifice some of the money, and that's a win for the management. Nevertheless, it's good to see Durant having some fun with his new team, and this extension is one proof of it.

Looking at the roster of Houston, I might underestimated them before the start of the season, but they're a playoff or perhaps a title contender team just by looking at their roster. Also, it's good that Coach Udoka is giving Sheppard more minutes right now even it's just a pre-season. I just hope that it will continue on the regular season.

Yes, I think that it made Kevin Durant the highest paid and NBA player that earned the most. This will surely boosts his ego while I don't know him personally but with the videos that I've seen from him, he's kind of that guy that won't give you respect if you're just like a little. I've based it on the short clip I've watched with his video together with Ishowspeed. Not sure about that but it's only a very short clip I've seen on shorts when he mocked ISS.

Wemby s all good,, he is healthy, he got the experiencE,, he have enough to make it.
just to make sure thatr he will be healthy all the way. Wemby s a good player he can be one of trhe best! he just need to take ccare of hss body.
He is Injured prone right ?

Jalen Rose? Did you mean Jalen Green? Yes, Jalen Green is a promising player but he also had many shortcomings. In some games, he completely disappeared. Trading him was the best move the Rockets could've made. Giving up Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green to get Kevin Durant significantly increased their championship chances in the short term. In the next 2-3 seasons, the Rockets will definitely be in this race. I also think the Thunder and the Nuggets will be their main rivals. I don't think the Clippers, Lakers or Warriors have much of a chance.
