Houston Rockets dominate free agency, acquiring Durant and strengthening their roster for a championship run.

The Houston Rockets have emerged as the undeniable victors of the 2025 NBA free agency period, making waves with their blockbuster acquisition of Kevin Durant. This monumental trade not only fills a glaring gap in their roster but does so without sacrificing any of their promising young talent or future draft picks. The addition of Durant, a perennial superstar, instantly elevates Houston`s championship aspirations.

But the Rockets didn’t stop there. They further fortified their lineup by signing Dorian Finney-Smith to a lucrative four-year, $53 million contract, while Clint Capela secured a three-year, $21.5 million deal. The savvy signing of Fred VanVleet adds depth to their backcourt, and the extension of Jabari Smith Jr. signals their commitment to nurturing young talent. With the re-signing of Jae`Sean Tate, Aaron Holiday, and veteran Jeff Green, Houston is poised to be a formidable force in the upcoming season.

In contrast, the New Orleans Pelicans made headlines by acquiring Kevon Looney, yet concerns linger about their offensive capabilities. With players like Zion Williamson and Tre Jones, who collectively have only made 51 three-pointers in 922 career games, the Pelicans face significant challenges ahead. As the offseason unfolds, teams are strategically building their rosters, with the league currently in its summer league period at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
