The Timberwolves had too many injuries last year, and the record was so bad that the second half of the season was so bad that Edwards had a chance to let go. The same rockets are waiting.
The Rockets mainly wait for the Wall contract to be completely unwinded, and the salary space is liberated, just in line with the time of this batch of rookies, so the Rockets are thinking of results, that is, the 23-year offseason, then there should be action, and in recent years, it is the training rookie of the Eight Classics.
But the pace of the Rockets' rebuild can't be rushed, and Jaylen Green is now making more mistakes, which is a good thing for his career. Looking at the performance of Kobe Bryant and Harden's rookie season, it is unbearable, the Rockets have to first adapt Green's body to the intensity of the NBA's confrontation, somewhat patient, and now only play a few games.
Last year, Edwards's body still has to adapt to half a season, not to mention Green, the rookie looks at three years, even if there is no patience, then at least wait for half a season, the schedule is almost half can present something, Jaylen Green through the first half of the season of learning may be able to correct all their mistakes in the later tempering.
The rocket rebuild needs rookies: first, the ceiling should be high, and second, the ball quotient should be high. The Rockets' target for next year's draft is Jaylen. Durham and Jabari. Smith, both rookies are typical of The Jade, and the one who developed well is Dwight. Howard and Rashad. Lewis, unlike Paul Banchereau, whose style of play has been stereotyped, Chet. Homegren was too thin and white. The Rockets must use the talent of the next two years of the draft to return to the playoffs by the 23/24 season.
