word is that houston isn't going to make a single move next season. according to `espn` sources, udoka and durant will remain core pieces of houston next season, the young core will be preserved (tari eason will either stay or leave depending on the salary he's offered), and fvv and adams will return. so basically, everything is going to revert to where things stood at the start of last season. okay but with all the chaos that went down, kevin durant's burner account fiasco, the team chemistry falling apart, udoka not having a single halfway-decent offensive game plan... how is any of this supposed to be salvaged? kevin durant is someone who has personally said he's not a leader and that he doesn't want to be forced into being one. how is someone like this expected to lead a young roster? and on top of that, what if that young roster has found out they're being talked about behind their backs as imbeciles and the like? before the durant fake account stuff blew up, zach lowe wrote a piece. in the article, he claimed that the young guys on houston had incredible respect and admiration for kevin durant, but that durant was using this respect to keep the young players under his thumb. isn't this assessment exactly right? we all know from alperen how much respect he has for kevin durant, how excited he was to play with him. likewise, jabari smith jr. has said many times that his idol is kevin durant. clearly, this entire young roster is going through major disappointment. it's no longer houston, it's houston's young players and kevin durant. just like it was once golden state and kevin durant. anyone expecting leadership and ownership of the team from this guy is going to be waiting a long, long time. houston might as well kiss another season goodbye.
