8 strong players join the team! Rockets strengthen the league first in the offseason? Stone sends a big gift to Space City

The Rockets had a lineup of more than a dozen players last season, but almost half of the players left the team this summer. For example, Whitmore was traded to the Washington Wizards. In addition, in order to get Kevin Durant, the Rockets also directly sent away the two main players Dillon Brooks and Jaylen Green. It can be said that the Rockets did invest a lot for Durant. Don’t forget to get a first-round pick and five second-round picks, so that they got Durant.

In addition, the Rockets also cleared the lineup during the offseason, such as Nate Williams, who performed poorly in the summer league, was directly cut; due to Capela's arrival, the Rockets also directly cut center Jock Landal. In addition, players like McWelfare, David Roddy and Enfalley Dante, who had two-way contracts last season, were not renewed. They now join other teams. For example, McWelvet went to the Australian League to play, while Dante was signed by the Hawks for 2 years and $4.2 million as a substitute center. Although the Rockets have lost a lot of people, as many as 8 players have joined the team this summer. The most eye-catching one is naturally the 36-year-old superstar Durant. There is no need to expand this. The Rockets have obtained Durant and their strength has been rapidly improved. In addition, the Rockets also signed and then replaced, winning the old player "Biu King" Capela. Next season, the Rockets' inside defense and eating cakes at the basket will have basic guarantees. In addition to Shin Kyung and Adams, there is also a very reliable substitute center.

Fenney Smith, a 3D small forward who performed well with the Lakers last season, has now become a Rockets player. In addition, the Rockets also signed Okoji, a swingman who played for the Hornets and the Suns last season, and Okoji also performed quite well in the just-concluded African Cup of Basketball. It can be said that the Rockets did not misunderstand it. The Rockets also signed defender Davidson, forward Isaiah Crawford and shooting guard Kevin Harris with three two-way contracts, and signed defensive wing Cameron Matthews with a temporary training camp contract. In this way, eight players joined the Rockets. Although among these players are superstar Durant, ordinary role players Capela, Finney Smith, and some marginal players, the Rockets' recruitment strength is among the best in the entire league. After all, the Rockets have strengthened their shortcomings. The Rockets lacked scoring ability and three-point shooting ability next season, so the arrival of Durant, the super scorer, directly prevents the Rockets' shortcomings from existing.

Three-pointers were also the Rockets' weakness last season. Durant's three-point shooting percentage is as high as 43%, and Finney Smith's three-point shooting percentage has also reached 42%. The arrival of two top three-point shooting players has directly brought the Rockets to the ranks of top-tier teams in three-point shooting.

The US media also ranked the reinforcement operations of each team during the offseason. In their opinion, the Houston Rockets ranked first in the league this summer. After all, after getting these players, the Rockets' overall strength has improved to the naked eye. They have evolved from an ordinary regular season strong team to a top-level strong team at the playoff level, and are even expected to compete for the NBA championship next season. As the helmsman of the Rockets, Manager

Manager Stone naturally made an indelible contribution. He gave Aerospace City a great gift with his excellent performance. If the Rockets can win the championship next season, Manager Stone will definitely be the number one hero.
