As the Houston Rockets enter the 2025-26 NBA season, there is no doubt that their offense, rejuvenated by the addition of superstar Kevin Durant, will be taking on a highly different look than it did last season.
Yet, according to William Guillory of The Athletic, the Rockets will now also need to be much more careful and focused in their half-court offense as a result of the Durant trade: a fact that could cause some early season difficulties as the team attempts to adjust to its new pecking order.
Therefore, while the addition of Durant is almost certain to elevate the team's chances at competing for a title this season, there is also an easily foreseeable issue that the team will first need to overcome in order to begin their arduous journey.
