Jalen Green Just Didn’t Fit With KD | Rockets Fans Are Over It

Was Jalen Green ever the right fit for a team with Kevin Durant? We break down why the Rockets’ decision to move on from Green wasn’t just about numbers — it was about fit, performance, and perception.

Jalen Green may have been the only player on the roster capable of taking over a game offensively, but with KD now in Houston, that role became redundant. His disappointing playoff performance didn’t help either, and for many Rockets fans — especially the casual crowd watching a full series for the first time — it was a bad first impression.

We discuss:

Green’s positional and stylistic overlap with KD
Why his skillset became less valuable post-trade
How fans seem to have turned the page after his playoff struggles
And why the criticism, while harsh, might be justified
Do you think Green deserved more time in Houston, or was this always going to happen once KD arrived?
