The Rockets traded Theis to the Celtics in exchange for Schroeder and Fernando
After the pelicans' double kill at home and away, the Rockets have recently suffered another three-game losing streak, and the Rockets have also made a series of changes this season, including the recent rookie Sagu starting partner Wood, but the overall performance of the team is still not hot, and the biggest focus Green has not been able to play personal potential, shooting 37.7% and 29% of the three-point shooting rate so far this season is far lower than expected. As a result, the Rockets' record reached 15 wins and 39 losses, ranking first from the bottom in the West.
For the current Rockets, the results are secondary, how to do a good job of rebuilding is the top priority; after all, after sending off James Harden, everyone knows that their team lacks competitiveness, and knows that in the next few years, the Rockets will not appear in the ranks of the championship; under the guidance of head coach Silas, Young players such as Wood, Kevin Porter, Jaylen Green, and Shen Jing have been given ample opportunities to exercise and play some highlights; and the team continues to adhere to the team building strategy of "building walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king" , on the one hand, collecting a variety of young players, on the other hand, the area to save draft picks. However, for the team's veterans, such a team building direction is not friendly, and they do not want to waste their careers in Houston, so Gordon and Theis have the possibility of leaving, and many teams are interested in them.
After searching for him in the crowd, Stone finally pressed the trading button. According to Kelly Iko, a well-known NBA reporter, the Houston Rockets traded Theis to the Celtics. Shams was then updated, and the Rockets traded for Schroeder and Fernando. As a result, Theis returned to the Celtics, where he spent four seasons with the Greens, playing in 236 regular-season games, averaging 7.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.
