Uduka talks about team recruitment and directed to Durant? Praises White Demon Amen, Stone: No one is selling products
10:40pm, 12 May 2025【Basketball】
On May 7, today the league announced the Best General Manager of the Year. Presti of the Thunder was successfully elected. After introducing Caruso and Harten in the offseason, he was considered the favorite of Best General Manager of the Year, and it really did it. The second place is Altman of the Cavaliers. The team's record is second in the league this season, second only to the Thunder. It is understandable that it ranks at this position. The third is Landon who brought the bottom Pistons to the playoffs, and the fourth is GM Stone of the Rockets.
The Rockets actually don't operate much this season. They continued the core lineup last season, but the team received a patience. They won the second place in the West in the regular season this season, and the team has established a good winning culture. Although they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, the Rockets have far exceeded expectations this season. Today, the Rockets held a season summary press conference, and Stone and Uduka also accepted an interview and talked about the team's future.
Uduka talked about the team's signings
Wuduka was asked what the current lineup is missing in an interview today. Uduka said: I will say we lack those players with 90% free throw shooting percentage and 50% three-point shooting percentage. His meaning is very clear, that is, there is a lack of a stable output that can provide a stable output on the offensive end. This is a problem that the Rockets have throughout the season. The Rockets are also interested in introducing stars in the offseason. The news now is that they are interested in Durant and Antetokounmpo. Uduka's words are already very clear. The team may not need letters, but they need players like Durant.
If it is really possible to introduce Antetokounmpo, then the Rockets need to consider that they will completely rebuild around letters. The team has no qualified shooter at all. The only one that can be counted is Dillon. The other starting players Shin Kyung and Amen Thompson are probably going to leave the team. After all, letters are more suitable for one-star shooting and both towers occupy the inside space, letters cannot play their greatest role. A player like Durant who can adapt to any system will not affect the team's core framework, and it is indeed more appropriate.
, and the team general manager Stone also talked about the team's team building direction in an interview. He said that our offensive system will not be built around a certain player, no matter whether you are Shin Kyung, Amen Thompson, Jaylen Green or others. His meaning is very clear. In the future, the team will still focus on a competition in a hundred schools of thought like now. Every player can play his own value, but to be honest, in the playoffs, there is no stable scoring point, and such a team cannot succeed.
Uduka praised Amen White Demon
Uduka talked about Amen Thompson's growth this season in an interview today. He said: Amen is very hardworking. If he is not the best, he is one of the best. He seems to have no upper limit. He is very comprehensive and will eventually become a Swiss Army Knife type player. For him, talent is his limit. Previously, US media have repeatedly stated that Amen is a non-sale product for the Rockets. In terms of Amen's performance in the playoffs this season, he deserves to be a non-sale product.
Amen averaged 15.7 points, 7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.9 blocks in the entire playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 49%. His top single defense ability has also made Curry lose his athletic ability many times, and his athletic ability is also very outstanding. Previously, the US media praised Amen, if he develops three-pointers, the league will be final. To be honest, if Amen can develop three points, then he is a young Zhan. After
, Uduka was asked about the White Demon Whitmore's question. He said: We may communicate more with Whitmore than anyone else. He has huge potential, but the key is still lacking stability, and he himself knows this. The White Demon has excellent impact and enthusiasm, but sometimes he doesn't like passing the ball, so Uduka may not be willing to reuse him. The White Demon averages 9.4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist per game in 16 minutes this season.
Stone talked about Van Jordan
Stone was asked about Van Jordan's contract negotiations in an interview. He said: He is the person our team hopes for, both as a player and an individual. We are very optimistic that he will be with us in the foreseeable future. Listening to this, it is probably because St. does not want to execute Van Jordan's big contract, and hopes that Van Jordan can choose to leave the team with a salary cut. If Van Jordan's annual salary is around 25 million, the cost-effectiveness is still very high.
Afterwards, Stone talked about the team's future operations. He said: Maintaining the continuity of the lineup is a way to improve the team, but this does not mean that the Rockets will not make adjustments, and the threshold for making changes will be very high. In our industry, no one is a real non-sale product, but we attach great importance to every player in the lineup. We use draft picks to select the right person or to upgrade the lineup. We will see which method is the most reasonable.
