The Houston Rockets are eyeing a Russell Westbrook reunion, with the veteran guard averaging 15+ points, 5+ rebounds, and 6+ assists last season with Sacramento. To make it work, Houston would need to clear $2.4M in cap space—possibly by trading or cutting young forward Isaiah Crawford—and offer Westbrook a veteran-minimum deal worth $3.6M. The real question? How Kevin Durant feels about reuniting with Westbrook after their tense 2016 split. But Durant himself has softened the narrative, calling Westbrook a legend and saying a reunion “would be dope”—though he emphasized it’s not his call. With Westbrook’s playmaking and leadership, he could be a low-risk, high-reward fit for a Rockets team navigating injury-prone seasons and roster fatigue.
