The Houston Rockets just made one of their biggest trades in franchise history, but they may not be done yet.
They now have Kevin Durant, but the NBA offseason just started, and they might have their sights set on other stars.
According to Evan Sidery, the Rockets “still have the assets in place to take another huge win-now swing for a second star” alongside Durant.
“If Durant takes less on a new contract in Houston, it provides them flexibility to pull this off,” Sidery wrote.

In his post, Sidery included a picture of Giannis Antetokounmpo with Durant, suggesting that the Rockets could aim for someone that impactful and powerful.
Is there any real chance of them landing someone like Antetokounmpo?
That might be slightly out of reach for the Rockets, but there is no doubt they have the ability to bring more talent to the roster right now.
Durant came to Houston to win, and he could help make that happen if he accepts a contract that is favorable to the Rockets.
Who will they target, and who is actually attainable for them?
A lot of people feel the Rockets shouldn’t make any more changes.
They believe the team was already looking good last season, and the addition of Durant will be enough to get them back into the playoffs.
But there are some who think they should strike while the iron is hot.
They already made one massive move, so why not attempt another if they have the ability and the cash?
The Durant trade was gigantic and shook up the West, but the Rockets may not be done making a lot of noise.
