After the lottery was drawn, the Rockets seemed to be more and more free, after all, although it was a small year in the draft, the players still had good talent and potential. Even if the rocket is really not optimistic, it can also use the Tanhua lottery as a bargaining chip in exchange for immediate combat reinforcement.
Among them, Nets forward Mikal Bridges seems to be the white moonlight of the Rockets, and Michael Scoutto predicts that Houston will continue to pursue the forward. Although Mikal Bridges still has a contract in place, the Rockets are currently having a lot of assets, and if there are promising players, they should seize the opportunity to get them as soon as possible.
Before the deadline of this season, Mikal Bridges had an affair with the Rockets, but it didn't come true. If in the second half of last season, Mikal Bridges performed bravely and showed All-Star level potential, this season Mikal Bridges seems to be in full shape, due to the opponent's increased defensive intensity, Mikal Bridges seems to be a little struggling, and even his teammates are not convinced of him, and the Nets locker room has a big problem, which makes Mikal Bridges even more tormented. This season, the Nets are divided internally, Mikal Bridges averages 19.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1 steal per game, and his outside shooting is still accurate, with a three-point shooting rate of 37.2%, but as the main offensive point and core, Mikal Bridges is almost meaningless.
Of course, if it's just as a starter or a three-in-command, Mikal Bridges can be trusted, and there is another advantage, he is the number one iron man in the current team. Mikal Bridges, as the No. 10 rookie in the first round of the 2018 class, has been in the league for 6 years, but Mikal Bridges has maintained full attendance, he has played 474 games in a row, it can be said that health is the best talent, if you can't play and ensure attendance, everything can't be talked about, which undoubtedly makes Mikal Bridges valuable.
And the current Rockets, the backcourt has Fred VanVleet and Jalen Green, as for the inside, Jabari Smith and Alperen Shenjing form a twin tower, but Dillon Brooks in the third position is not particularly stable, Jashawn Tate fell out of the rotation, and Tari Eason has just recovered from injury. If Mikal Bridges can arrive, it will undoubtedly improve the Rockets' No. 3 position and overall roster strength, and will also invisibly increase the possibility of making the playoffs.
