Keep the core team? It is difficult for the Rockets to have big deals! All 7 newcomers are valued, and the lineup is steadily improved

At the Rockets' season summary meeting not long ago, Rockets general manager Stone officially showed up, and he said that the Rockets may pay more attention to the continuity of the lineup. In other words, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Rockets to have large-scale deals next season. Although the outside world is rumored that the Rockets are interested in stars like Antetokounmpo, Durant, Booker and even Morant, based on the words of Rockets management Raphael Stone, it is impossible for the Rockets to break up their existing lineup to complete those big deals. Keeping the core team and using this lineup to compete in the regular season and even the playoffs next season, this may be the best choice for the Rockets.

Why did

do this? On the one hand, Antetokounmpo may not be able to leave the Bucks. After all, the Bucks will not let Antetokounmpo go easily. Antetokounmpo once won the championship with the Bucks, and staying with the Bucks is probably his first choice. Booker is also regarded as a non-sale product for the Suns, and it is almost impossible for the Rockets to get him.

Durant is very useful, but he is too old. Even Rockets and team reporter Ben Dubos is questioning whether the Rockets need to fight for 36-year-old veteran Durant. Although Morant performed like a superstar two years ago, his frequent injuries have caused his condition to decline seriously. In addition, he often causes trouble off the court, so the Rockets probably find it difficult to accommodate a thorn like Morant.

Therefore, the best way for the Rockets is to retain the core team. After all, the Rockets' current core team has achieved second place in the regular season in the Western Conference in the playoffs, and Stone will definitely not easily break up this top Western Conference lineup. Moreover, the Rockets are just missing a superstar now. Next season, Shin Kyung of the Rockets has a chance to grow into a top center in the league. Moreover, even if the Rockets' lineup does not introduce superstars next season, their strength will steadily improve. After all, if the Rockets can retain seven young players, these seven young players, including Shepard, may make rapid progress.

You should know that the Rockets were still a non-playoff team last season, and this season the Rockets did not introduce too many players, so they have risen directly from the 11th in the West to the second in the West. Then if you still trust these seven young players next season, the Rockets will probably have a better record. As for the playoffs, after the training of this season's playoffs and the polishing of the regular season next season, we also believe that the Rockets will definitely go further in the playoffs.

And according to recent comprehensive news, all the seven young players of the Rockets are trusted and valued. Amen Thompson and Shin Kyung are both non-sale products of the Rockets, and Rockets general manager Stone also directly stated that the Rockets want to keep Jabarry Smith and Ethan for a long time. Rockets coach Uduka also personally promised that next season, she would give more opportunities for marginal young players like Shepard and Whitmore. In addition, Jaylen Green is also valued by the Rockets management. According to reports, Rockets management believes that Jaylen Green still has the potential to be a top scorer.

So, all seven newcomers were nominated and valued by the Rockets management, which also shows that the rumored big deals of the Rockets are difficult to happen. If you continue to trust seven young players, plus veterans Dillon, Van Vritte, and even Adams who stayed in the team, then the Rockets' core lineup will not change much. If another inside player can be introduced and another sharpshooter can be introduced, the Rockets' lineup will be steadily improved, and you can take a look at it next season.
