After a trade, Schroeder officially became a rocket player, but in the eyes of many people, the rockets may not choose to keep Schroeder, but will buy out with him, so many teams regard Schroeder as a hot player in the buyout market. But the Rockets' general manager at the press conference said: "Schroeder has been a great player for many years, it's an opportunity for us to get to know each other, our team plays at a fast pace, Schroeder is energetic in the open round, he's also a defender above the level, I think he's a good fit, I want him to fit in on both ends of the spectrum, I've had a good conversation with him and I'm looking forward to his performance." ”
It is not difficult to see from Stone's words that the Rockets did not mean to buy out Schroeder, but is Stone really telling the truth? Don't think about it too much, they both have their own little calculations.
Combined with the current situation, Stone's words look more like beautiful official words. To know that the Rockets in order to complete this deal but cut Augustine and Brooks, the team suddenly missed two guard players, as far as Cyras's platoon is concerned, he will most likely put up a three-guard starter such as Porter Jr. + Green + Gordon, then the defenders who can be used on the bench are left with Schroder and Christopher, in theory, Schroder will provide great help to the team's bench lineup, but the Rockets do not pursue records this season, the core task of the team is to cultivate young players, Even if Schroeder is put on the bench, he needs to play almost 30 minutes of playing time, which will greatly hinder Christopher's growth, and even have an impact on the playing time of Porter Jr. and Green, which is obviously in serious conflict with the team's philosophy. So keeping Schroeder is not a good choice for the Rockets, and the team also has a highly potential organizational guard Knicks that needs to be developed.
In addition, from the reaction of Schroeder to the Rockets, he also does not want to play for the Rockets, it can be seen that after being traded to the Rockets Fernando not only expressed his joy at joining the team but also began to practice with the team, and Schroeder has not said anything so far, according to US media reports, he is undergoing a complete physical examination. On the same day was traded to the Rockets one has been trained, one has not yet completed the medical examination. Obviously, this is a cover, and it is conceivable that at this stage, Schroeder's agent must be communicating with certain teams, and once a consensus is reached, I believe that in the next few days, it will definitely offer to buy out with the Rockets.
If the Rockets choose to cut Schroeder directly, then it will definitely be paid to him in full, but if Schroeder proposes, he must make the decision to give up part of his salary, otherwise the Rockets do not need to be adult beauty, after all, the Rockets did not get any practical benefits in the deal with the Green Army. Then there is the Fact that if the Rockets directly cut him, he seems to be unauthentic, thinking that he has no value, so he first says beautiful things, and then gives him time to discuss with other teams. It is foreseeable that in the next few days, Schroeder will most likely be bought out...
