Saab Severosa, a veteran who currently plays for the Rockets, has decided not to participate in the NBA restart phase at the end of this month, which of course also means that there is a gap in the Rockets lineup, which was first reported by ESPN reporter Adrian Vonaroski.
Saab Severosa, 36, played in 41 games for the Rockets before the 2019-20 suspension and averaged 10.6 minutes per game, in addition to contributing 2.2 points and 2.3 rebounds. However, it should be noted that after signing players such as Jeff Green and DeMare Carroll before the Rockets trade deadline, Sephorosa was forced to withdraw from the Rockets' rotation in late February.
In fact, even if Cefrosa plays as usual, it is estimated that there will not be many opportunities in the rotation of head coach Mike D'Antoni (usually 9-man rotation), of course, his presence will still be the Rockets' replacement candidate to avoid the new coronavirus or injury problems. After all, Severosa has been able to consistently perform defensively in his 14-year career, as well as a high player on the court and a steady three-point shooting percentage (34.9% three-point shooting).
Then for the Rockets, the team can also choose to strengthen another player who can replace Cefrosa in the case that Cefroza is sure not to play.
After Saab Severosa decided not to travel with the team to Orlando for the rematch, and Severosa did not give a reason for this decision, so since Severosa would not play the rematch for the Rockets, after freeing up a slot in the lineup, it paved the way for the Rockets to sign ChinMot.
According to the US media Shams-Charania, a number of sources said that the Rockets are planning to sign veteran Luke Bamot:
Bamot was a very important role player in the Rockets team that broke into the Western Conference Finals in 2018 and was just one step away from the Finals, but unfortunately, The injury-plagued Bamot did not perform well overall in that year's Western Conference Finals series.
Even if he gets a chance to join the Clippers last season, Bamot can only get four games and an average of 15.3 minutes per game due to injury problems, which means that Bamot has not been given any playing time to stand in the NBA since October 2018.
But the current news is that Bamot has been able to recover well, and in the case of being able to stay healthy, Bamot should also be able to partner well with players such as James Harden and PJ Tucker, and more importantly, Bamot is very familiar with coach Mike D'Antoni's tactical system, which is definitely the best condition for the status quo of only 8 regular season games after the resumption, so if Bamot can stay healthy and in the game, He may once again be an important part of D'Antoni's rotation.
In fact, as early as March, there was news that the Rockets were interested in Bamot, so there is no doubt that this stage will be the right time for the Rockets to sign the veteran player.
