TNT's 2021-22 NBA live broadcasts were released, and the four teams with the most live broadcasts in the United States were: Los Angeles Lakers: 13, Golden State Warriors: 12, Brooklyn Nets: 11, Milwaukee Bucks: 10, and the Houston Rockets did not have TNT's live games this season.
In fact, TNT and the NBA league can not be blamed for "snobbery", after sending Harden and Westbrook last season, the Rockets became one of the least talented teams in the league. Although Oladipo, Olynyk, Bradley and others have been introduced, they still can't change the decline of the team, they ended last season's journey with the league's penultimate, such a team naturally does not have much appeal.
In the face of the team's poor performance and lack of All-Star players, general manager Stone did not give up on the team's transformation, and under his leadership, the Rockets have dug up young players such as Wood, Tate, Martin Jr. and Kevin Porter, and also obtained a large number of draft picks. When the 2021 draft began, Stone was strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, holding the number ones, the 23rd and 24th picks, taking Jaylen Green, Garupa and Christopher, and getting the Turkish center Shen Jing in the form of a deal.
From the end of the season to now, the Rockets have really gotten better. They almost improved those four positions, with only the point guard position slightly stagnant. But Wall, Kevin Porter, a young and old duo, are enough to cope with the regular season. According to NBA famed journalist Tomas Jones, the Houston Rockets plan to decentralize Garupa and Toffer to give them more training opportunities in the development league; Stone will sign Matthews with a veteran base salary to support the young players on the team.
Matthews has played for five teams over the past three seasons. Last season, he averaged 4.8 points per game for the Lakers. Although Wesley Matthews is no longer brave, he still plays at a high level in some games. As a 3D player, he has his own unique resilience on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and has provided a lot of help to the team. What's more, a veteran like Matthews who has a lot of experience and a good professional attitude is priceless, and he can lead Jaylen Green, Kevin Porter, Tate and others to grow rapidly.
