Kevin Durant said he would welcome the opportunity to team up with Russell Westbrook.<\/p>\n
The Houston Rockets star said Westbrook \u201cdeserves\u201d to be in the league and said it would be \u201cdope\u201d if they could play together in Houston.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no clue, I haven\u2019t asked anybody about (a reunion). It hasn\u2019t been brought to my desk at all, and usually when stuff like that happens, it\u2019s usually pretty loud,\u201d Durant said on FanDuel\u2019s \u201cUp & Adams Show\u201d<\/a> with Kay Adams. \u201cBut I haven\u2019t really heard it outside of fans on the internet.<\/p>\n \u201cRuss is a legend, and I think he deserves to be in the NBA right now, and I think he deserves to walk out of the NBA on his terms, so yeah, that would be dope. But it\u2019s not my decision, I\u2019m leaving that up to whoever makes those decisions for now.\u201d<\/p>\n one of the biggest acquisitions of the summer, the Rockets acquired<\/a> Durant in a blockbuster trade to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in the draft, and five second-round picks.<\/p>\n During Media Day, Durant shared that he looks forward to being a Rocket and signing a contract extension.<\/p>\n \u201cI do see myself signing a contract extension,\u201d Durant said<\/a>. \u201cI can\u2019t tell you exactly when it\u2019ll happen. But I do see it happening.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n He also praised the Rockets organization for building a contender in a short amount of time.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cJust seeing the quick progression of this franchise, from where it was right after that Chris Paul-James Harden era to seeing what (Rockets coach) Ime (Udoka) got here and how he turned it around so fast,\u201d Durant said. \u201cIt just felt organic and natural coming into the gym and being a Houston Rocket for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n
