Reject Stud! Make every effort to train Shepard, the Rockets new starter is about to be decided, and Durant also gives his attitude

Van Jordan's season reimbursement caused a serious injury, which made the Rockets a little frustrated. After all, the latter is one of the few Rockets who can hold the ball and control the field, and the defensive end can stick to the opponent's gate like a dog skin plaster. The three-point firepower from the outside is OK, and Van Jordan's short and strong body shape can even defend against the big ones. The lack of Van Jordan means that the Rockets' offensive and defensive system will be affected. But being too sad cannot change the status quo. The Rockets management is still calm and they will not make changes easily.
, and today the Rockets also officially announced that Van Frett had undergone repair surgery for an anterior cruciate ligament torn on his right knee, and is expected to be reimbursed for the season. But Van Jordan cannot directly sentence his death sentence, after all, he is only 31 years old. He is only 32 years old after returning from a year of quit. He is at the golden age of a player. He does not take physical fitness. In terms of contract, Van Jordan and the Rockets signed 50 million in two years, with an annual salary of 25 million, and the last year is the player option. Basically, the Rockets and Van Jordan will not break up and will wait for him to play in the 26-27 season.
For the Rockets, Van Jordan's injury may be a blessing in disguise? First of all, Shepard has obtained a lot of development resources, and Amen will also get more ball-holding rights. The most important thing is Durant's idea. There was previously news that Van Jordan's injury will affect Durant's stay or stay. But Jake Fischer, a famous reporter from The Open Stand, reported that Durant will still move forward according to the established plan, and he revealed that the Rockets will renew their contract with Durant soon.
Jake Fischer said: "Based on the sources I have received, Durant will sign an early contract renewal with the Rockets."
If Durant does not change his decision, it will be a big benefit for the Rockets to continue to maintain the stability of the lineup. Durant's contract has one year left to 54.71 million. If he renews his contract with the Rockets, he can get 122 million in two years, so he will play for the Rockets until he is 40 years old. From Durant's perspective, this is understandable behavior.
After all, there is no team in the league that is more suitable for Durant than the Rockets. It is meaningless for you to change teams frequently. In addition, Durant has also been open to the public in recent years. After all, no matter how valuable the Warriors have in their two championships is, they still have a championship. Staying with the Rockets, Durant is the real boss' treatment. Choosing to stay in the team in adversity can also reverse some of the reputation. What's more, the Rockets' lineup is not so vulnerable. Without Van Jordan, one less hard dish, but the Rockets still have two hard dishes, Durant's signature dish is still there.
Durant attended 62 games in the Suns last season, and averaged 36.5 minutes per game, still scoring 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks in a comprehensive data, with a shooting percentage of 52.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 43.0%. Van Jordan only played 60 games last season, averaging 14.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.4 blocks per game, with three shooting percentages of 37.8%, 34.5%, and 81.6%. In fact, Van Jordan fought against the Warriors in the playoffs, and his regular season efficiency was quite low.
Durant can fill the firepower of Jaylen Green and Van Jordan last season alone. In addition, the Rockets' salary cap is only 1.1 million yuan from the hard cap, but they cannot sign the veteran's basic salary, so it's better to dig internally. As for the trading, the Rockets will not move, according to famous reporter Zach Lowe, who reported that Stone said that he would not take any action after Van Jordan was injured. The Rockets prefer to give Shepard a full opportunity to start. Shepard and Amen Knight Van Jordan averaged 14+3+5 per game. It is expected that the Rockets' starting lineup in the new season will be that Shepard and Amen will complement each other in the backcourt offense and defense, Smith will be in the third position, Durant and Shin Kyung will play 4-5 positions, and with a bunch of strong substitutes, the Rockets' sky will not collapse.
