The NBA Finals are about to begin, the Nuggets vs the Heat, and whoever wins the championship will set a record for this team. The Nuggets have no opponents in the West, and this must be admitted, but the Green Army's elimination by the Heat, No. 8 in the West, is indeed staggering, the Heat's performance is not perfect, Butler is not too consistent, but the Green Army's performance is worse, especially Tatum and Brown's performance in the Eastern Conference final G7, which is not worthy of the top salary. In the eyes of many, there may be problems within the Green Army.
It is worth mentioning that on June 1, just 2 days after the Green Army was out, the team of three joined the Rockets, and Uduka ushered in helpers. According to Boston Globe reporter Gary Washburn, three Green Army assistants decided to leave the team to join the Rockets' Uduka's coaching staff, the three assistants are Ben Sullivan, Aaron Miles and Mike Moser. The Green Army is the biggest player in the NBA, winning 17 championships in team history, but after losing to the Heat, not only the coaching staff disintegrated, but the Green Army's roster may also change dramatically.
Green Army coach Mazura has lost control of the dressing room, and the Green Army coaching staff is basically Uduka's old department, this time the Green Army chased 3-3, suffered a crushing defeat in the East Final Seven Games, Mazura has also been greatly questioned, domestic celebrity Suqun has said that Mazura's coaching career is over. The Green Army did not live up to expectations, and Mazura does have some responsibility, but the players should be blamed, especially Jaylen Brown, who was undercover in the Eastern Conference G7, and if he let other Green Army players play, he may not have a chance to win.
For Uduka, he'll be in Houston. In fact, the Rockets are over and their goal next season is to win. The Rockets have a good roster, in addition to having young players such as Jaylen Brown, Jaba Smith Jr., and Shin Kyung, the Rockets also hold the No. 4 pick in 2023, and according to ESPN's draft prediction, the Rockets will draft Amen Thompson, who is a small forward. The Rockets are currently one of the most promising teams in the West, but the possibility of trading the No. 4 pick doesn't rule out the possibility that the Rockets can get some good instant players through trades.
Moreover, the Rockets have the most salary space in the league in the offseason and are expected to sign two top-paid players. Harden plans to return to the city, the Philadelphia 76ers basically will not provide him with a 50 million annual salary, Harden's industry and family are in Houston, and it is only a matter of time before he returns to the Rockets. The 76ers were defeated by the Green Army in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and Harden's defeat in the championship may now have given up chasing a championship, and it is more practical to maximize his interests.
In addition to Harden, All-Star Jaylen Brown may also leave, he trusts Uduka very much, the Rockets can provide Brown with an annual salary of 40 million, if these two operations are completed, the Rockets will become one of the biggest favorites in the West next season. However, Harden and Brown also have something in common, they did not prove themselves in the playoffs, and if the two stars play together, the Rockets' hopes of winning the championship are not very high. But for owner Fertitta, the Rockets need to start winning, and that's what he asked of Uduka.
