The Rockets haven't been in as good form as the Hornets lately, who have won three in a row, beating the Grizzlies, Pacers and Hawks.
The Rockets lost to the Pacers, were crushed by the Hawks, and couldn't beat the Grizzlies in the face of the remnants.
Udoka is also at a loss in the face of the current situation of the Rockets, and some fans are worried that something is wrong in the locker room.
Udoka's favorite brought Gervais back to life after leaving Doncic for the Hornets, averaging 17 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists per game while shooting 51 from the field4% and 90% free throw shooting. After that, Gwee averaged only 8. per game with the Mavericks1 point 36 plates 17 assists and 41 shooting percentage3% and 74 free throw percentage5%。
ESPN reporter McMahon revealed that Gwee was uncomfortable with the Mavericks before, and he kept talking. It doesn't matter if Gervais is doing well, but it's annoying if he doesn't do well. After the trade was completed, Gwee swapped his shoes from Doncic's signature shoes to Tatum's.
Did the Rockets regret it, they could have traded to get Gwee.
Some American ** people broke the news that the Green Army once wanted to exchange Gwee for Tate, but was rejected by the Rockets. Stone thinks Tate is strong defensively and has a good value for money contract and wants him to be the leader of the locker room.
Last offseason, NBA Analysis Network said that the new Rockets coach Udoka likes the titanic Gwee and may consider recruiting him to the Houston Rockets.
Udoka was once the head coach of the Green Army, and Gwee is his favorite player. Udoka once told Gervais that if he wanted to help the team, he would try to improve his three-point shooting to 40 percent. Gwee did it, and Udoka was happy and gave him a lot of opportunities.
At 25 years old and 1.98 meters tall, Gwee is a 3-and-D player who is stronger than Tate in height and three-point shooting. Gwee shot 37 three-point percentage in the regular season for his career8% and 43 percent three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs3%。Tate shot just 30 from three-point range7%, he has not played in the playoffs.
Dillon wants a big contract and the treatment of a key player, and so does Gervais. Dillon accepted Udoka's recruitment, and Gwee eventually left the Green Army to join the Mavericks on a four-year, $54 million contract.
Gwee struggled with the Lone Ranger and ended up on the shelves. The Mavericks want to trade for a defensive stalwart at the trade deadline while getting rid of Gervais' long-term contract.
Houston reporter Kelly Eco revealed that the Mavericks have been keeping a close eye on Tate ahead of the trade deadline, but they can only come up with two second-round picks, and the Rockets want at least three second-round picks. Eventually, the Mavericks sent Gwee to the Hornets and got PJ-Washington.
Some Rockets fans were puzzled by Stone's failure to send Tate away at the trade deadline. Tate's inability to open up space on the pitch and his defense is also rough, and he is not suitable to play with Amen.
Gwee is a good fit for the current Rockets, he can not only defend and protect rebounds, but also shoot three-pointers, and can coexist with Amen. Gwee can not only play power forward, but also play as a cameo center.
Hornets coach Clifford said in an interview: Bridges made a great breakthrough in the final quarter, and a lot of it was due to Gervais being in the No. 5 position. You've got a lot of space on the court, Bridges has played great, but if you have a traditional center on the inside, he probably won't be able to hit the basket all the time.
The Hornets' Bridges shoots averagely, he is good at hitting the basket, he can also throw threes, and his style of play is somewhat similar to Whitmore's. With Gervais playing center to open up space, Bridges will be able to play comfortably. If the Rockets can get Gwee, Whitmore will get hurt from it.
Sengun, the Rockets' starting center, doesn't have a three-point shooting, doesn't shoot defensively well, and occupies the ball, and he and Whitmore aren't actually compatible. Before the Rockets played against the Green Army, Sengun had good statistics of 24 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, and Whitmore started with 2 of 7 in the game and had no rhythm. More and more Rockets fans are backing a trade to send Sengun away.
