Tielin: KD retires soon, Rockets cannot win & they will have to search for puzzles through the draft again

September 27th Rockets point guard Van Vreet suffered an ACL torn in mini training camp and may be reimbursed for the season.

In response, former NBA player Danny Green said in his podcast "Danny Greenx InsidetheGreenRoom": "You sent away some young assets and young cores for KD in this deal, but it turned out to be a waste of a year. You will never achieve your goal now."

"This is too hurt, Dillon Brooks left, and they also lost some other defensive players. Amen Thompson is excellent, but he expects him to control the rhythm of the game alone throughout the season? Like Shepard, I am optimistic about his growth prospects, but it doesn't work. This cannot solve the fundamental problem. They can't succeed again this time."

"Van Villet will recover, he will be fine, and the team will remain stable as a whole. But Hu Oh saw that Durant's strength has been backwards a few steps and cannot win by him. They will have to search for puzzles through the draft again, or... I don't know who they can trade in the next two or three years."

Host: "Another interesting thing, Durant did not sign a contract renewal."

Green: "But it's not that interesting to me, because he's almost done. KD has been playing for 19 years, he's a seven-foot-long man (note: about 2.13 meters). A seven-foot-long man can play for so long, I think he's almost done, brother."
