Houston was extremely active this offseason apart from the Durant acquisition. The Rockets also gave extensions to coach Ime Udoka, forward Jabari Smith and center Steven Adams, and signed Dorian Finney-Smith in free agency.

Superstars drawing frequent whistles — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander being the latest example — always spark debate, and Durant was no different as that aspect of his game became a hot topic when his Oklahoma City Thunder faced the Boston Celtics in a regular-season matchup just weeks before that year's NBA playoffs.

Kevin Durant got on social media after his $90 million contract extension with the Houston Rockets to send a message.

One reporter asked Kevin Durant about his intention to rejoin the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he bluntly replied with saying, "No."

Booker, Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks will lead the Suns this season. Green and Brooks started for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference this past season, the Houston Rockets. Without Durant, Phoenix will have to replace his scoring to try and prove it can play with pace and be successful.
