While the Houston Rockets look to continue to improve after falling in the first round of the NBA Playoffs to Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors, their roster has a chance of making a huge change for the 2025-26 season.

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.

Center Steven Adams has agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract extension to remain with the Houston Rockets, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Saturday.
