Recently, according to related news, the Rockets will first consider Ibaka for the reinforcement of the center position. Ibaka's contract expired and became a free agent. Many teams are interested in getting Ibaka. In addition to the Rockets, the Nets are also recruiting Ibaka. In addition, the Clippers and the Lakers are also interested in pursuing Ibaka. I don't know where Ibaka will go in the end?
Not only that, there was also news that Ibaka was following the Lakers on social media, but soon Ibaka cancelled the attention of the Lakers. I wonder if my hand slipped? Or is it intentional? The Rockets and the Nets both have certain advantages in pursuing Ibaka, and both have teammates who have Ibaka.
Ibaka averaged 15+8 per game during the regular season, averaging 2.1 offensive rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers per game. He has become a high-quality spatial center. The playoffs were also close to averaging 15+8 per game and his performance was very stable. Harden of the Rockets and Ibaka are old teammates. The Nets Durant and Ibaka are also old teammates. Who is more attractive? Who Ibaka is willing to join hands with is still unknown.
The Rockets pursue a 15+8 space center, but the Rockets did not take it as the only goal, but have two hands to prepare! In addition to Ibaka, 20+15 will become the second goal. This second goal is Norrence Noel. Noel became a free agent at the end of the season.
In the Thunder, Noel also played well. In the game against the Suns, he delivered a large double-double of 20 points and 15 rebounds. Noel is currently 26 years old and still very young. The main problem is that there are some glass properties. It's okay if there is no injury. If you have an injury, you will be cheated.
Rockets are ready with both hands! Pursuing a 15+8 space center, 20+15 will become the second goal. It is still quite difficult for the Rockets to get Ibaka, after all, there are more competitors. Although Noel has some potential risks, it is also worth a try. Compared to Ibaka, Noel is much simpler and cheaper. As long as 5 million-6 million in two years, Noel should be able to sign.
