Shaquille O’Neal weighs in on the Rockets’ summer, calling Kevin Durant’s landing in Houston potentially “something very special.” He also lauds Alperen Sengun, dubbing him the “Turkish Terminator.” The offseason adds Durant, Dorian Finney-Smith, Clint Capela, and Josh Okogie, bolstering frontcourt depth and perimeter defense while Sengun, Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr., Tari Eason, and Fred VanVleet form a high-ceiling core. Houston’s 52-win 2024-25 season sets the stage for a deep playoff push with elite versatility and size.
