According to us media Sam Armick, the Rockets have officially abandoned Ben McLemer, and McLemore will attract the interest of a number of competitive teams:
When Ben McLemer reached a deal with the Rockets before the 2019-20 season, McLemore at that time simply wanted to stay in the league. Although McLemer was picked with the 7th overall pick in the 2013 Draft, his career in the league was unsuccessful.
But after joining the Rockets, mcLemore averaged 6.4 three-point shots per game with D'Antoni and partnered with a superstar of James Harden's caliber, making him one of the league's top scorers.
Although the Rockets have abandoned McLemer at the moment, the latter still expressed his gratitude to the Rockets on the IG:
"Houston!! Thank you. I am so grateful to each and every one of you, I was lucky enough to be in the arena with the fans, management, coaches, trainers and my brothers. I am forever grateful for my time with the Rockets and the memories of being a player. ”
For McLemer, even if he has been abandoned by the Rockets at this stage, there are still many competitive teams that are reportedly interested in him, which means that McLemore may still join a more powerful team and impact the championship.
Rockets center Christian Wood, on the other hand, also responded to injury issues after the game against the Celtics, as he appeared to be injured again again again.
"I'm fine," Wood said, "it was just a missed blow and the referee told me they didn't blow the foul. When I'm on the pitch, I'm learning to stop arguing with the referee and keep playing, I have to go through things like this, I'm going to be fine and I'm going to be ready for the next game. ”
Given the current strength of the Rockets' roster, Wood's ability to stay healthy is certainly a very important thing for the team.
