What was the rocket's worst failure last summer?
Let's look back, what did the rocket do last summer?
The Rockets have selected Jaylen Green, Shinkin, Christopher and Garuba in the draft; the Rockets have renewed Novaba's contract for 15 million US dollars for 3 years; and the Rockets have signed Theis for 4 years and 36 million by signing first and then replacing Thes.
The Rockets gave up Sterling Brown to sign the Lone Ranger on their own, the Rockets gave up Olynyk to sign the Pistons on their free, the Rockets gave up DJ Wilson, and the Rockets gave up Bradley to sign for the Lakers.
The Rockets replaced the veterans with young players, completed the team's metabolism, and the operation of the Rockets at that time was widely recognized, and Stone's ability to operate was commendable at the time.
If you look at it now, in addition to the Rockets in the draft, the selected players showed potential and talent, the Rockets in the free market two signings, are very criticized, Nuwaba in the renewal of a season, a whole season is not in the team's rotation lineup, and Theis and Wood's interior partner, and finally Theis fell directly from the starting rotation, announcing the failure to introduce Theiss, the Rockets in order to correct mistakes, before the trade deadline, traded Theis to the Celtics, in exchange for Schroeder and Fernando, There was no draft pick.
From this deal, Schroeder is a correction feedback from the Rockets on last summer's reinforcements, the Rockets trade is mainly to get Schroeder, on the one hand, Schroeder's expired contract, on the other hand, the Rockets focus on the development of young players Porter and Green, are guard players, the Rockets hope that Schroder to promote young players to grow faster.
After Schroeder came to the Rockets, the data and efficiency have declined to a certain extent, the average number of points per game and the average number of shots per game are the 3rd lowest in his career, only better than the first two seasons of his career, the playing time is a new low in the last 6 seasons, the shooting percentage is only higher than the rookie season, the three-point shooting rate is a new low in the last 4 seasons, the free throw shooting rate is a new career high, and the assist is a new high in the last 4 seasons.
From the comparison of these data, Schroeder's status in the Rockets has dropped significantly compared to his career, and the offensive efficiency is also declining, resulting in a certain decline in all the data, only from the comparison of data, Schroeder's journey in the Rockets is not successful, at least Schroeder's data, efficiency, or team record has not reached Schroeder's expectations.
On November 17, 2020 Beijing time, the Lakers traded Danny Green and the No. 28 of the first round of 20 years to the Thunder, in exchange for Schroeder, this season is the last year of Schroeder's contract, and last season, the Lakers won the NBA championship, Danny Green's poor performance in the playoffs, in stark contrast to Schroeder's very good performance.
In the 2020-2021 season, Schroeder's performance in the Lakers was very good, and the Lakers threw out a contract extension in advance during the season, but Schroeder officially rejected the Lakers' 4-year 84 million US dollar contract on March 30, 2021 Beijing time, and Schroeder wanted to get a maximum salary contract.
In the summer of 2021, the Lakers eventually did not renew Schroeder's contract, and in the absence of anyone in the league, Schroeder signed with the Celtics on a 1-year, 5.9 million middle-class contracts, Schroder tried to transition a year, and in the summer of 2022, once again sought a big contract.
Schroeder was one of the players in the Celtics' core rotation lineup during his time with the Celtics, but in the case of the Celtics' salary explosion, it is unlikely that he will renew Schroder's contract at a high price this summer, exchanging Schroder's trade for chips that can be used for a long time, but it can solve the situation that Schroders has lost money in the offseason.
At the same time, Theis is incompatible with the Rockets, Schroeder is not in the team's future planning, the Rockets in order to get rid of the Theiss 4-year contract, and finally choose to release the salary space, get Schroeder's expired contract, plus scrapped the scrapped lottery ticket Fernando, and the Celtics have the thesis instruction manual, the two sides hit it off, complete the transaction.
After coming to the Rockets, the two sides spent a honeymoon period, Schroeder's performance, once met the expectations of the Rockets coaching staff and even management, before the start of the playoffs, the Rockets could cut Schroeder, let Schroeder go to the playoffs to play for the team, but both sides are interested in cooperating to complete the season, and both sides are satisfied with each other's performance.
For the Rockets, Schroeder's arrival, let Schroeder act as an organizational guard, Schroeder's rhythm, and offensive choices, is what Green and Porter need to learn, Schroeder's offensive skills and on-court judgment, but also the Rockets' young players need to learn, at some stages, when Schroeder is on the court, the Rockets players take the initiative to pass the ball to Schroeder, let Schroeder participate in the organization and tandem, Schroeder's organizational and tandem ability is infinitely amplified.
Because Schroeder has the ball, it can make Schroeder's data better, whether it is the number of shots on the offense or the number of assists, which is very helpful for Schroeder to be able to reach a big contract in the next contract.
For the Rockets, Schroeder's experience has something to learn from Porter and Green, plus Schroeder is an expiring contract, and if it doesn't play well, the cost of giving up Schroeder is very low.
In this context, Schroeder gradually integrated into the rhythm and playing style of the Rockets, the shots were very casual, and the offensive efficiency was not high, but Schroeder did not realize that Porter and Green shots were random, shooting efficiency was not high, the Rockets were focusing on cultivating these two players, and the Rockets would not allow Schroeder's behavior.
As the season deepened, Wood, Gordon and Schroeder all fell out of the rotation, and the Rockets focused on cultivating young players, announcing that the purpose of Schroeder's coming to the Rockets had been achieved, and the young players in the stage area were more to release salary space and facilitate follow-up reinforcements.
From the current point of view, Schroeder's contract expires this summer, the Rockets are almost unlikely to renew Schroeder, on the one hand, the Rockets traded to Schroeder, is to get rid of Theis's long contract, Schroeder is only a tool for the Rockets to release space, on the other hand, Schroeder's performance in the Rockets, whether it is offensive efficiency, or various data, is not very outstanding, and the two sides have basically broken up has become a foregone conclusion.
about
Rockets, will not consider Schroeder contract renewal and trading issues, there will only be a probability of signing first and then changing, Schroeder is 29 years old, there is still a certain competitiveness in the league, its advantages are also very outstanding, in the strong team can also enter the rotation, if through Schroeder to sign first and then change, in the case of each team salary is not too abundant, both can allow Schroder to get a large contract, but also can let the Rockets get a certain return, which may be a win-win thing for both sides, but the most critical thing at present is, Whether a team is willing to give Schroeder a big contract and sign first and then trade with the Rockets, this is a problem!
