After being silent for so long, the Rockets finally made a deal that shocked the league.
They sent away Paul, who was in decline, and got Westbrook, who was at his peak and full of attack power.
This has improved the strength of the Rockets. The current Rockets guard line can be said to be the most luxurious in the league. The guards in the team include Harden, Westbrook, Gordon, and Rivers Jr.
But it is clear that the Rockets’ guard line has grown, and the striker problem has not yet been resolved.
In the new season, the Rockets’ starting small forward position is likely to be House, which is also in line with Morey’s personality that always likes to use Taobao players.
House’s performance in the regular season last season was remarkable, but his performance in the playoffs was a bit abnormal, and his weaknesses were exposed.
House has potential, but still needs to be polished. It is optimistic that House will make greater progress in the new season.
In addition, there is Clark on the bench, and there is still potential to be tapped.
It is not ruled out that Shumpert will return to the Rockets with a basic salary.
I don’t expect Morey to make a big deal and get a star striker.
is a must.
At present, the only strikers in the team are House, Tucker, and Clark, which is far from enough for the Rockets. After all, House and Clark cannot provide stable help.
The NBA is a business field. Although trading Gordon will definitely cause fans to be unhappy, if they can get a standard striker, the Rockets should take action.
