Rockets new contract locks on 17+4 heroes? The ultimate answer to 5 smalls emerges, and there is no suspense in the 17-man roster.
The Rockets' lineup is still changing. There is still uncertainty for the Rockets. The team also needs to use the team's shortcomings to examine the team before March 1 to further adjust the lineup. The main part is on the front line. The Rockets do not want a center, but there is no center suitable for the Rockets in the free market. The Rockets want a center with fast speed and accurate three-pointers, and it is basically impossible to get such an inside line, so the Rockets chose to use the front line to play the center.
facts also prove that the five small lineups are still relatively combat-effective. Recently, the Rockets have signed four forward players, Covington, Carroll, Green and Cabocrolo. Currently, Covington is the best player. After coming to the Rockets, his three-pointer on the offensive end is very stable and he has become the Rockets' new defensive core. His position is absolutely unshakable. He made key three-pointers in several games. This is the most critical link in the Rockets' five small lineup and the forward line that the Rockets need the most.
Among other front lines, Cabocrolo is more like a "spare tire", D'Antoni will not use him easily. Cabocrolo, who is tall and long but has unstable three-pointers, will be a surprise player on the Rockets' forward line, but it is unknown when it will be reused. Carroll's condition is getting better and better, and he also got a certain opportunity in the game against Knicks . The biggest variable is undoubtedly Green. The Rockets signed a contract with him at that time only 10 days, and it would take action to keep him.
Green scored 17 points and 4 rebounds in the first game. In the second game, Green scored 2 points in poor form. In the game against the Knicks, Green's form came back. According to reporter Salman, the Rockets are operating and discussing the issue of leaving Green. With such an outstanding performance, the Rockets will definitely want to leave Green. The specific contract term and salary have not been determined yet, but the Rockets will definitely give Green a new contract to lock him in the team. He is also the ultimate answer to the Rockets' Five Little League.
Green has an advantage, and Green, who is 2.03 meters tall, is the highest player in the Rockets' regular rotation lineup. He plays the role of center on the bench, and his performance is still very good. If Green is left in the end, there will be no suspense about the Rockets' 17-man roster. Harden, Westbrook , House, Covington and Tucker formed the first echelon of the team, and Rivers Jr., McLemore, Green, Carol and Seffrosha became the second echelon.
also needs to face competition in the second echelon, Chandler , Harten, Clemons, Fraser and Howard . These players will not get any chance, and the last place on the Rockets' 16-man roster will be left to Green. His joining is that the Rockets have a strong scorer in the substitute. If Green can provide stable offensive firepower and defense, the Rockets need a veteran like Green with rich playoff experience in playoffs . He can also become the key to the Rockets' five smalls.
