The Rockets' trade with the Grizzlies has been finalized, with the Rockets sending Oladipo and three second-round picks in exchange for Grizzlies center Adams. The 2.11-meter-tall and 120-kilogram Adams was the No. 12 pick in 2013 and is now 30 years old, and he has played in the NBA for 10 seasons, averaging 92 points 82 rebounds 15 assists and a whopping 58 shooting percentage7%。Oladipo, the 2013 star of the game, has yet to play this season due to injury, averaging 16 per game in his career9 points 45 rebounds and 39 assists. For the Rockets, getting Adams is infinitely useful. His defensive ability and rebounding ability will greatly improve the overall strength of the Rockets, and he can also play as the starting center, allowing Shin Kyung to switch to the power forward position and further optimize the team's roster configuration.

In addition, Adams could also serve as Shin Kyung's replacement, taking the pressure off him. Oladipo's contract is expiring, while Adams has two years left on his contract and a salary of $12.6 million this season and next. According to Woj's follow-up report, Rockets management believes Adams can bring the tenacity and leadership that Coach Udoka craves, and that he can play a significant role behind Shin Kyung and influence the outcome of the game in key moments.

The arrival of Adams will greatly improve the interior strength of the Rockets. His defensive ability and rebounding ability are excellent and can bring more wins to the team. At the same time, Adams can also play an important role on the offensive end, with his low-post offense and finishing ability under the basket being excellent. In addition, Adams' leadership and game experience are what the Rockets need. As a veteran of 10 seasons in the NBA, Adams is able to provide guidance and support to the team's young players to grow and develop.

Overall, the Rockets got a very good center player through this deal, and his arrival will give the team a boost as a whole and lay a solid foundation for the team's future development. What do you think of this deal?
