Turn on the clean lineup, the Rockets 5 will be put on the shelves, Matthews will stay on the team, and the comeback of the list is imminent
The team has been rebuilding since Harden left the Rockets, and although the team has played a seven-game winning streak this season, this is not the real strength of the team. Want to rebuild to accumulate a lot of talent, the Cavaliers lineup has 7 players in the top 10 of the draft, the Rockets only have a high pick rookie Jaylen Green, so the lineup must be purged, and many players do not conform to the Rockets' current lineup and reconstruction. According to Bleacher Report reporter Jake Fischer, the Rockets will trade.
Due to Matthews' recent form, the Rockets considered renewing his contract, but the Rockets' overall roster was full and needed a trade to free up a place on a formal contract. The reporter revealed that Augustine, Gordon, House and Theis four players were traded, and Wood was also available for trade. The five players were put on the shelves, which meant Matthews would stay in the team.
Veteran Augustine is in a slump after a previous game, and with two years left on his contract, the Rockets' goal is to free up a spot, so there is a good chance that there will be a two-for-one or a return draft pick. At present, there are many veterans in the Rockets, Augustine, Gordon are still a game of strength, the transaction value is relatively high, including Wood is the same, the contracts of these players are not very large, it is also worth the money, it depends on how general manager Stone should adjust.
Jaylen Green was absent for a long time, which caused him to fall off the rookie list, and he is about to make a comeback. The Rockets are getting closer to a trade, and new players are already available for trade this season. Jaylen Green is undoubtedly the Rockets' most important player to develop, Shen Jing in the game against the Cavaliers with 19 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists performance, he is also worth cultivating, Wood, Tess staying in the team does not help to cultivate Shen Jing much.
Christopher has also improved in recent games, scoring 17 points against the Cavaliers and another rookie Garruba playing 17 minutes for 3 points and 4 rebounds. The Rockets have begun to focus on cultivating four first-round rookies, and seven consecutive wins can ensure that the Rockets' record this season will not be too ugly. The team's goal is not to impact the playoffs, at least to ensure that there are top three picks in next year's draft, which is the goal of the Rockets' reconstruction. The Rockets trade also requires further caution.
General manager Stone is not very experienced, and he has suffered losses in trades with Harden and Westbrook, but the Rockets have received good returns in the draft this year. The Rockets put multiple players on the shelves in fact, the initiative is in control, some playoff teams also need to be reinforced, the Rockets can also exchange some potential players, but the opposing team does not have room to renew the contract, such as the Eagles' Reddish is a very good choice.
