NBA games are wonderful for spectators, but extremely cruel for the teams participating. The NBA has 30 teams, but there is only one championship every year, which has resulted in 11 teams that have never touched the championship trophy, including the Phoenix Suns, Memphis Grizzlies, Brooklyn Nets, Utah Jazz and other strong teams. In addition, there are countless players who have not won a championship, barkley, Carl Malone, Iverson, Maddy and others, although they have been successfully inducted into the Hall of Fame, but they have not been able to get a championship ring, which has become a regret in their lives.
Teams that ultimately fail to win the championship generally have two choices, either through the trading market to strengthen, continue to attack the championship; or tear down and rebuild, completely reduced to a fish belly, through the draft to accumulate resources, avoid the real and virtual, lay a good foundation for the future rise. Recently, the US media "FW" announced 10 potential big fish to be traded, including Wiggins, Butler, Mitchell and other powerful players. And the media believes that Wiggins' ideal home is the Houston Rockets, let's take a look.
The US media "FW" believes that Wiggins's annual salary of up to $33.62 million next season will become an obstacle for the Warriors to renew poole, and the Rockets lack strength in the flank position, and the arrival of Wiggins can fill this gap and help the Rockets completely get rid of the embarrassing situation of ranking at the bottom of the league for two consecutive seasons. It was a 3-for-2 deal, and the specific deal plan was: the Rockets sent Christian Wood + Eric Gordon + Ken Young Martin Jr. to the Warriors' Andrew Wiggins + Moses Moody.
Rockets owner Fertitta has said in public that he doesn't want the team to be in the process of rebuilding, and if the Rockets' record doesn't improve in the next 1-2 years, general manager Rafael Stone and head coach Silas will not have a good life. Judging from the Rockets' lineup structure, there are three talented young players on the outside, Jaylen Green, Porter Jr., and Christopher, and in addition to having Olajuwon's goalkeeper Alpin Shenjing on the inside, they can also get a talented interior player (high probability event) through the draft to supplement the strength of this position. In this way, what the Rockets need to strengthen most is actually the strength of the flank position.
Wiggins is 2.01 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.13 meters, weighs 89 kilograms, is 27 years old, plays as a small forward, and has averaged 31.9 minutes per game this season, contributing 17.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1 steal, and shooting 39.3% from three-point range. He has an amazing physical talent, he can kiss the basket with a single jump, which makes him an attacker who makes all opponents jealous, and the fans criticize him the most for playing healthy basketball on the court, but he can do it without dripping water when other players are sweating.
But Wiggins has changed a lot in the past two years, and although he is still the 18-point punch, he can score points steadily when the water is dumb, chase and block the opposing arrow figure on the defensive end, and help the Warriors go all the way to return to the league's strongest team. In short, Wiggins is no longer a "wolfberry brother", and his joining can bring great help to the Rockets.
