The Rockets also returned to the Toyota Center and conducted team shooting training after the last game against the Lakers, and Rockets head coach Stephen Silas also revealed the team's direction in the remaining games in an interview:
"That's what I said on the board this morning about 'consistency,'" Silas said, "making sure you don't expect more from the team because of the game against the Lakers, finding consistency means a lot to young people, and you have to maintain that consistency." ”
What Silas expressed was that he hoped that the Rockets would not be lost in the hope of sudden good form or troughs, after all, it was more important for this Rocket to maintain stability in the game.
On the other hand, according to Jack Fisher, a reporter for the Open Stand, the Heat have a lot of interest in Rockets center Christian Wood, which also means that Wood has become a potential reinforcement target for the Heat this offseason:
In fact, Wood was put on the shelves by the Rockets before the trade deadline, but the Rockets ultimately chose to keep the tough guy and see it as the core of the team's future, so it won't be easy for the Heat to convince the Rockets to push for a deal involving Wood this offseason.
Finally, according to ESPN correspondent Tim McMahon, the Rockets have secured garrison Matthews and Ken Young Martin Jr. contracts next season:
Both were non-guaranteed contracts for the 2022-23 season, but rocket management decided to give contract guarantees to two players who could perform well this season. On contract, Matthews will earn $2 million a year next season, while Martin will earn $1.78 million a year.
