Rob Parker argues that the Houston Rockets should not 'run it back' with Kevin Durant. He cites Durant's age, injury history, and perceived locker room disruption as reasons why he is not a player who makes his teammates better or elevates a franchise. Parker believes Houston should focus on developing its young core and finding a different type of veteran leader.
