Kevin Durant has just wrapped up his second season in the NBA. He sends a tweet about heading to Houston. The Houston Rockets recently found that old social media post and resurfaced it— now just as excited as a once-young Durant was after acquiring the 36-year-old in a blockbuster trade with the Phoenix Suns.
