Beijing time on August 22, NBA continues to be in the offseason. In the past 24 hours, a lot of news about the Rockets came from the league. Let’s take a look.
First, the preseason schedule is released. Rockets officially announced the team's preseason schedule for this season, with a total of four games. The details are as follows (Beijing time): October 6th at 7:00 am at home vs. Wizards; October 8th at 7:00am at home vs. Heat ; away game vs. Raptors at 6:00 am on October 12th; away game vs. Spurs at 7:30 am on October 16th.
4 of the 04 preseason opponents, Wizards left Westbrook , Raptors sent away Lowry , Spurs DeRozan joined the Raptors, and only the Heat's offseason lineup was strengthened. The team is expected to gain a record of 3 wins and 1 loss and start the new season with a good record.
Secondly, Porter is dissatisfied with the ratings of "NBA 2K". "NBA 2K" director Ronny recently responded to Rockets player Porter Jr. on Twitter, revealing that his ability value is 77. Porter expressed dissatisfaction with this: 77? You want the rookies to have higher abilities than me? are you sure?
Among this year's rookies, the Pistons the top pick Cunningham has an ability value of 80, the Rockets' second-place pick Green is 79, and the Cavaliers' top pick Mobley is 78. All three rookies have higher ratings than Porter Jr. The US media posted a highlight of Porter scoring 50 points, 11 assists and 5 rebounds against Bucks and replied to Ronnie. The latter said: I love Porter, the sky is his limit, but in 82 games 1 game is not enough to affect the rating.
Porter Jr. played 26 games last season, averaging 16.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, shooting 42.5% from the field and 31.1% from three-point range. Except for the unsurprising three-pointers, the players have shown a variety of offensive methods and organizational talents. I hope Porter will perform better in the new season and prove that his strength is definitely higher than 77 points.
The third one is Harden apologize Houston . After playing for the team for nine years without a championship, Harden applied to leave the team last season and joined the Eastern Conference Nets. Although he is not in Houston, Harden has been doing charity work for Houston.
Harden recently announced that he will hold a charity concert in Houston, and the ticket price is only $13. When talking about the city of Houston, Harden said that Houston will always hold a special place in his heart. He spent nine unforgettable years there and was disappointed that he failed to bring a championship there.
Although he failed to lead the Rockets to win the championship, Harden spent his best 9 years in Houston, leading the team into the playoffs every year. At the same time, when Hugh City encountered hurricane , Harden also donated materials in time to help people tide over the difficulties.
Finally, the 4-person trading plan was exposed. The US media planned a deal and suggested that the Rockets use Gordon + House + 2023 first round (from the Bucks) in exchange for the Hawks Reddish .
As the Rockets begin to rebuild, the team will build around Porter Jr., Green and Wood. Gordon and House are no longer in the team's plan. The team needs to reduce salary as much as possible and cultivate young and talented young people. players.
Gordon's annual salary this season is 18.2 million, while House's is 3.8 million. If the deal can be completed, the team can save US$16 million in expenses. At the same time, Reddish is only 21 years old this year. Last season, he averaged 1.2 points, 4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game, and shot 36.5% from the field. He is a good forward and guard swingman. Considering that the annual salary is only 4.67 million, this performance is well worth the money. What do you think of this deal, please leave a message to communicate.
