Durant received another powerful assistant

Durant got another strong general's assistance, but also lost a strong general. What exactly happened? It's incredible!

According to US media reports, the Rockets signed 3D player Okogi with a one-year contract of 3.1 million. So the question is, why do the Rockets sign Okogi? The main reason is that Okogi is very strong.

Okoji is a very strong forward player. Although he is less than 2m tall, his playing style is very strong. Except for the center position he is not competent, he can play in all other four positions.

Okoji is a player with a very fierce defense. He has a very tough physical fitness and can contribute more than one steal per game last season. He is very good at creating offensive fouls and can defend the star of the opponent's team.

Okoji can be used as a knife guard beside Van Jordan to wipe his butt. This may be the main reason why the Rockets signed him. After all, Van Jordan is too short and easy to be targeted on the defensive end, so Okogie can assist him.

Okogi's arrival made the Rockets' already strong defense become stronger. It also allows Durant to attack with confidence without having to put too much energy on defense, because there are too many players that the Rockets can defend.

Rockets are building a team with a strong defense, and this is their team building philosophy. They want to build a team with strong defense, and only consider offense on this basis, and Durant leads the remaining players on the offensive end.

It seems that the Rockets are determined to build a championship team, and Durant also joined a strong team as he wished, which may be the strongest team he will join since leaving the Warriors.

However, after Durant got Okogie, he also lost another player, that is Westbrook, who has not found a job. Because the Rockets no longer need Westbrook, they have too many players and there is no place left for Westbrook.

and Westbrook has never found his next home! He could have defected to Durant. After all, the two have been teammates in the Thunder for many years. Although they later parted ways, they have made up as they did in recent years. Unfortunately, I can't see the two of them playing basketball again. Is this the reason?
