The Rockets announced the death of former coach Bill Fitch on February 4, Beijing time, and the team officially issued this statement on social media:
The greatest achievement of Bill Fitch's career was beating the Rockets and winning the 1981 championship trophy while playing for the Celtics, but Fitch also spent five successful seasons with the Rockets. While leading the Rockets, Bill Fitch was able to lead the Rockets to the playoffs four times, including reaching the Finals in 1986, but the Rockets eventually lost to the Celtics.
Rockets owner Tillman Fertitta, on the other hand, has made good on a promise he made, and now the Rockets have a new team plane, mainly used to travel to and from away games. On February 4, Beijing time, several Rocket players posted videos on social media and thanked boss Fertitta:
The Rockets are currently in the rebuilding phase, but it seems that owner Fertitta is still willing to invest more money in the team.
Finally, Eric Gordon has become a hot topic of trade rumors in recent times, and it is still unknown which team Gordon will be sent to, but the US media Dylan Gust proposed three deals involving Gordon in an article:
Scenario 1:
Rockets get: Saric, Jaylen Smith, Elfrid Payton, future second-round picks
Suns get: Eric Gordon
Scenario two:
Rockets get: Eric Bledsoe, Keane Johnson, future second-round picks
Clippers get: Eric Gordon
Scenario three:
The Rockets got: Josh Richardson, Kemba Walker, 2023 first-round picks, future second-round picks
Celtic gets: Eric Gordon
The above three will be a plan that will allow the rocket to get a return on future assets, and this will undoubtedly be the return that the rocket wants to get.
