Last season, under the planning of Uduka, the Houston Rockets played a gratifying basketball. On the offense, every player is happy to share the ball, willing to conduct the ball, and pass the opportunity to the player with the best chance; on the defensive end, the system tailor-made by Uduka has played a crucial role, and Dillon, Jabbarry Smith, Ethan and Amen Thompson have all become defensive players that the NBA league is afraid of.

It is precisely because of the improvement of offense and defense efficiency that the Houston Rockets have become an NBA powerhouse. For a time, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Denver Nuggets, the Celtics, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Indiana Pacers all became their background boards for winning. In the end, they entered the playoffs with the second place in the West. However, because his players are generally young and without an outstanding superstar, the Houston Rockets lost to the Golden State Warriors and stopped in the first round of the playoffs. After the offseason came, General Manager Stone made up his mind to build a competitive team. So, they sent Jaylen Green, Dillon and multiple draft picks, and exchanged Durant from the Phoenix Suns, and the Rockets finally got a key gentleman who could change the direction of the game by themselves. Afterwards, they signed Capela and Finney Smith in one go, and the team's depth further improved

However, general manager Stone was not satisfied with this and was still active in the free market, trying to continue to introduce new talented players to the Houston Rockets. Recently, TA reporter Kelly Iko broke the news that according to relevant sources, after successfully signing Smith and Capela, the Houston Rockets focused their attention on Grimes, and they planned to go all out to attract him to the team.

Grimes is talented in the scoring field and possesses diverse and exquisite scoring skills. It can be imagined that if Grimes could join the Rockets, he would definitely become a key part of the team's lineup, injecting strong firepower into the team's offensive end, and becoming an important support for the team to win.
