When the Houston Rockets acquired Kevin Durant, they surely were hoping for more than a one-year rental. One NBA analyst is predicting that exact doomsday scenario for the team.
That would be Bleacher Report's Andy Bailey. He doesn't expect the Rockets and Durant to agree on terms for an extension. He thinks the Rockets should be thinking "more long-term" rather than offering Durant a lucrative deal. If that logic holds true, it raises a question:
Why trade for Durant at all?
Rockets are firmly in win-now mode
On a related note, I don't think the logic holds.
