Due to the big disagreement with James Harden, coupled with Brooke Lopez's temporary remorse, this has made the operation of the Rockets management this summer seem a little passive and hasty. In the end, although the Rockets had more than $60 million in salary space, they only signed Fred VanVleet, Dillon Brooks, Jeff Green and Jock Langdale and other deputies, and the price was not cheap.
If Fred VanVleet was selected as an All-Star, Jeff Green and Jock Langdale's contracts are guaranteed only for next season, and the Rockets management has left behind. But Dillon Brooks signed a four-year, $90 million contract, and most of it was guaranteed, and the signing was quite questionable. Of course, the Rockets reporter supported Rockets wing recruit Dillon Brooks in the podcast, believing that he could be used as the team's defensive core, and two Rockets seniors Trevor Ariza and PJ Tucker are good role models.
Dillon Brooks followed Canada to the Men's Basketball World Cup this summer, opening Canada against powerhouse France, but did not expect the focus battle, but it was particularly one-sided, Canada won by 30 points. Dillon Brooks plays well on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and unlike ordinary 3D players, Dillon Brooks not only does a good job of defending and receiving and shooting, but also has good offensive power, and this kind of player will have higher value on the court. And this summer, the Rockets changed their head coach, Amy Uduka took office, Dillon Brooks' strong style of play is bound to be appreciated by the coach.
As for the other two players, everyone is also familiar with Trevor Ariza whose role is very similar to Dillon Brooks. He has been in the Rockets three times in his career, and although Trevor Ariza has not become a star player, he has been a reliable qualified starter throughout his career, especially after returning to the Rockets in 2014, Trevo Ariza twice played as a starting small forward with the Rockets to the Western Conference Finals.
PJ Tucker's style on the pitch may be a little different from Dillon Brooks and Trevor Ariza, but the tough guy strikes on the pitch and fights as hard as he can. If you only look at the basic data, PJ Tucker has almost no contribution, but even if he is 38 years old, PJ Tucker is still the absolute workhorse of the 76ers, and in terms of market value, many powerful people are interested in PJ Tucker, which shows how popular this type of player is.
