The Rockets cut Landale to Lillard? The Houston backcourt is no shortage of attacking point guards

On July 4, the operations of each team during the offseason were still very eye-catching. Among them, the Milwaukee Bucks directly cut off maximum-salary point guard Lillard, undoubtedly the biggest star after Ayton was sacked this summer. It has also attracted much attention on which team he will join in next. After a series of trading and signing actions, the Rockets management finally began to optimize the players, and the bloated center position made Langdale a victim. The third center in this team has never gained much chance of playing after joining the Rockets, averaging only 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game, and a three-point shooting percentage of up to 42%, but usually only get playing time when Shin Kyung and Adams rest. In fact, Langdale is a relatively all-round inside player, with mid- and long-distance shooting, and a pick-and-roll competition with frontcourt rebounds, but he has few opportunities to perform in the Rockets lineup that emphasizes defense. In addition to optimizing the lineup, many people speculate that the Rockets may be preparing to sign Lillard. After all, the team's current backcourt has obvious shortcomings. Even though Lillard's performance in the Bucks is not as good as the Trail Blazers, he is still an All-Star point guard who averages 24.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game, and his strength cannot be underestimated.

As for the Rockets' back-line players today, Van Vleet and Holiday renewed, leaving Shepard, both of whom were small projection point guards. After Green was traded, only rookie Whitmore remained in the shooting guard. In a few games last season, Uduka used the VanVleet + Holiday's double point guard combination, which was not effective and was directly beaten on the defensive end.

Lillard is also an attacking point guard. Once the offensive end is not made, the defense cannot help the team. It is still unknown whether he can continue to be in good condition after returning due to a serious Achilles tendon injury. The Rockets don’t have to bet on Lillard at all. Let's wait and see who will eventually win this 75 superstar in history!
