first D'Antoni dismissed get out of class, followed by Westbrook trade rumors, and then a lot of negative about the Rockets. news. Harden is now caught up in trading rumors, and the Nets are more interested in Harden. In fact, the Rockets did not choose to trade but to have the right bargaining chips. If the two superstars traded in the alliance, they will be in a state of change. It can be said that the Rockets' choice determines the trend of the NBA next season, but the trade between these two players will not be so coming. After the trump card of the
team is caught in the trade, the role players will be at risk, and any player may become the top-in and be traded. Players like Covington and Tucker are not worried, because even if the two are traded, they will be reused, as many players may be cut after being traded. The Rockets will not include many role players on the trading list. For example, McClemo will definitely stay. His premium contract is an asset for the Rockets.
McClemo and the Rockets still have a one-year contract of $2.28 million. Many teams will not want or be able to match the trade salary with such a short contract. The Rockets trade reconstruction is actually profitable. Superstars are going to be traded. Players like him are actually very stable. McLemore was the Rockets’ big discovery last season, averaging 10 points and 2 rebounds per game in the regular season. However, his performance in the playoffs was very mediocre. It is not easy to achieve this with an annual salary of $2.28 million.
It is difficult for Westbrook and Harden to change to high-quality chips. Westbrook now has some negative equity. Mainly because he has a salary of $40 million a year and a three-year contract, which for many teams must consider the risks in the next few years. Westbrook's current style of play is very physical. The older he gets, the faster his body will slide and his state will decline. It is difficult for Westbrook to change to a player of the same level alone, and the Rockets need to overdraft future draft picks.
Harden has a very good trade value, but it takes a lot of price to get him. If the Nets want to trade Harden, they need to split half of the team. Although the two superstars are caught up in trading rumors, the Rockets are unlikely to separate the two directly. Harden is also 31 years old this year, and he also hopes to win the championship as soon as possible. The 2018 season with the Rockets has been the best chance for the Rockets to win the championship. The Rockets will not be able to win the championship in the future.
has already been the first to make a trade with the Western Lakers. Schroder joined the Lakers and the Warriors, another team in the Western Conference, will also return. So next season will be very miserable in the West. The Clippers and Rockets, the two teams with two superstars, are also seeking trades. Westbrook fell into a trade because of poor performance, and Harden wanted to hit the championship. Originally thought Fertitta would have changed a lot after taking over the team. In fact, the Rockets still lack the courage to hit the championship.
