Rockets sent Ariza and this year’s 16th pick to the Pistons in exchange for a future first-round pick; spent $4.6 million to buy a 2021 second-round pick from the Pistons, and use the Lakers’ 2021 second-round pick + $1 million Buying the right to sign Kenyon Martin, the No. 52 show at the end of this year, from the Kings. The Rockets still have no insiders after several consecutive operations, but the team has a 9.3 million middle-class exception. It is difficult to find a trading team in Wei Shao, and when Harden is traded without a team with suitable chips, the Rockets still need to brew Trading, the inside line is the Rockets' old problem, although Capela is very cost-effective, but it is difficult to return to the Rockets when sent to the Hawks last season.
Judging from the situation of the Rockets, sending Covington means that the Rockets have the meaning of rebuilding. After all, Covington is indeed a puzzle-type player who can win the championship. It is the free market that has excellent defense or a three-pointer. Welcome to the 3D striker. However, although Wei Shao intends to leave the team, it is difficult to find a team that can take over due to the large contract and state. There is also Harden, Harden intends to join the Nets, but the Nets must play Irving or Durant in order to reach a deal. Irving is more likely, but the Nets do not have a clear attitude, so in Before the real big deal is completed, the Rockets' current lineup is still at the "nondescript" level.

Currently, the insiders with certain capabilities in the free market include Hassan Whiteside, Christian Wood, and Andre Drummond. , Jacob Peelter, Derek Favors, Kelly Olynik, Montrez Harrell, Marc Gasol. As far as the Rockets play, there are not many attempts to sign, which means that if the deal between Harden and Wei Shao cannot be reached, then the Rockets' new season start record will not be too satisfactory.
is a deal brewing? The Rockets have become a big problem inside, and Hardenwei has not been easy. From the perspective of player careers, Harden and Wei Shao are not easy. The Rockets have always been tax avoidance in building the team. Compared with the Bucks' attitude to retain Giannis, the Rockets did not give Harden suitable signings. Teammate, Paul can be said to be a very suitable teammate for the Harden Rockets since his career, but limited by injuries and the powerful Warriors did not enter the Finals. Harden and Wei Shao can fight for a team that can win the championship, but from this Rockets team, there are not many chances, there is not much reserve of draft picks, and the interior is weak, if Harden and Wei Shao have not left the team in the new season. The way, then next season will still be an accompanying runner, which is hard to avoid.
