This season is the first season after the Rockets rebuild. The requirements for the record will not be too high. Just get into the play-offs. It is still mainly for newcomers. The Houston Six is the future of the Rockets. They determined the future development of the rocket. If it weren't for an All-Star caliber player, none of them would have been traded. Green, everyone's expectations of him are too high. And at the moment it is not playing the performance that everyone expected. Some hate iron but not steel. But the Rockets will not give up on his cultivation easily.
First of all, the Rockets won't change anything this season.
The bench lacks a stable breakup and center. Whitmore is more than capable of being a backup scorer on the offensive end. The one-on-one defense ability is also very strong. The biggest problem is the lack of concentration when marking people off the ball. The body is obviously too relaxed. The rebound is not stuck. But I'm sure he'll be able to squeeze into the rotation soon. Then the Rockets are just missing a backup center.
Look at the chips that the rocket can come up with. First of all, I don't think the Rockets will trade Jeff Green. The Nets have a 10-15 pick. The Rockets won't trade this draft pick for a backup center. Bullock signed late. There is a high probability that it will not be involved in the transaction (it may be used in January for a future second round)!Then the chips that the Rockets can really come up with are Audi + Randell + 3 second rounds. Personally, I think there is a high probability that you can get, Gafud, Boucher, Capela, Olynyk, one of them. What do you think?
