Fire! Who will be the last piece of the Arrow win puzzle?

10:34pm, 10 July 2025【Basketball】

The Rockets are really trying to sign up. Isn’t it satisfied if Durant gets it?

Now he is targeting Paul, who is 39 years old.

VanVleet ranked 201st in the league in defensive efficiency. The key game was not once or twice, and the substitute point guards were even more collectively defeated. This backcourt configuration is purely a dream.

There is really oil in Paul's fuel tank.

Last season's assists and turnover ratio beat Van Jordan by 4.3:1, and its defensive efficiency ranks among the top five point guards.

Not to mention that when the Rockets won 65 in 2018, the average average of 21+8 is scary now.

Based on a basic salary sign to be a mentor, but if you give a contract above the middle class, it will be too high, and the risk of injury to a veteran is too high.

ESPN simulation data is quite bluffing.

Paul's joining can make the Rockets' offensive efficiency rush into the top three in the league, with a 14% winning rate soaring at critical moments.

Durant has a 30% chance of receiving the ball and 30% more chance of receiving the ball, and he will directly liberate the Scythe.

But the data is data after all. Paul has missed 40% of the regular season in the past three years. It is hard to say whether he can withstand the intensity of the playoffs.

The Rockets' offseason operation is indeed fierce.

VanVleet's salary cut and contract renewal showed his situation. Adams became a blue-collar worker as stable as a dog, and stealing Rooney was even more magical - averaging 8.3 rebounds + 2.4 front boards per game, and the inside defense was directly improved by two levels.

However, Harden was intercepted by the Clippers, and Uduka refused to be Deng Ge. Now, Van Jordan's annual salary is more expensive than Harden.

To put it bluntly, the Rockets are gambling in the short-term window.

Durant is 36 years old and Paul is 39 years old, pointing to the championship in the past two years.

But the hidden dangers are also obvious: Durant was absent from 28 games last season, Adams recovered from a serious injury, and the old and new relied on Uduka to treat the army with an iron fist.

It is really a good idea to be able to solve health management and chemistry reactions.

After taking a step back, signing Paul is not a loss.

Bring newcomers like Amen Thompson to teach some skills in small and big play.

In case the veteran really needs to control the game in the playoffs, it is better than watching VanVleet make a mistake.

The Rockets play a big game of chess, and they're waiting for the new season to inspect the goods.
