The Rockets are still in the bottom of the West, aiming for the previous three picks this season, and they are also in the middle of rebuilding, and they have a lot of rumors in the free market. However, in the rumors, the rocket itself has also been seriously damaged, and the 19-year-old inside Garruba suffered a wrist injury and chose to undergo surgery, and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks.
Garupa is the no. 23 pick in the first round of 2021, and he also paid for it himself in order to join the Rockets, but unfortunately he did not get many opportunities in his first season. He has played in 15 games for the Rockets this season, averaging 7 minutes per game and contributing 1.3 points and 2.3 rebounds. There was also his own triggering of the safety protocol, as well as a wrist injury, and now in order to fully recover his health, he chose to undergo surgery, which also caused him to miss at least 6-8 weeks.
In addition, the Rockets' deal for Wall has basically failed, and it has been associated with the Lakers Westbrook in recent times. If the Lakers want to sell Westbrook, the Rockets will be one of the potential next players, but the Lakers need to take the first round of picks. Now the Lakers do not want to send away Wei Shao, and they are not willing to take the first round of signing, because last offseason just spent a lot of money to get it, and it is impossible to send it away in half a season. That is to say, the rocket and lakers trade negotiations are temporarily over, unless Westbrook is injured, the Lakers will not do it easily.
Compared with Westbrook, Wall has a lot of gaps in appearances in recent years, and this season has agreed with the Rockets that he will not play for the team. This season can't trade, Wall is still very popular next season, if he becomes a free agent, it will still be very sought-after, the Clippers and Heat are interested in the former All-Star point guard. However, at present, he will not accept any buyout agreement with a monetary loss.
Gordon, another veteran of the Rockets, is very sought-after, and he has performed very well this season, and he has also shown his physical condition to the outside world. Gordon has played in 41 games this season, averaging 14.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, shooting 44.6 percent from three-point range. For a championship team, it will be a good addition, the Suns, the Lakers, the Cavaliers have expressed their thoughts to him. At present, the Rockets' asking price for Gordon is a first-round pick, and if you want to get the veteran, you must provide a first-round pick to see which team will take the lead.
