Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant reportedly sees the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs as "appealing" landing spots as trade rumors continue to swirl.

the T-Wolves likely have interest in Durant like they did around the time of the trade deadline back in February, but "nothing is close" to getting done between Minnesota and Phoenix as of Saturday.

In turn, that could decrease the likelihood of a deal with the Houston Rockets.

Given that context, it's hard to call the Rockets '24/25 season anything but a huge success for the franchise. Houston won 52 games, its highest single-season total since the James Harden years, and held the No. 2 seed in a competitive Western Conference for much of the season, including from March 19 onward.

Early Saturday, news broke that the Rockets and Steven Adams had agreed on a three year, $39 million extension.

A successful youth movement cannot take shape without valuable veterans lending a helping hand.
