According to NBA reporter Steve Popper, Stone also wants to squeeze the final surplus value from Rivers. The Rockets and Knicks are discussing the signing of Rivers. According to previous news. Rivers Jr. agreed to join the Knicks with a three-year, $10 million contract.
It looks like the Rockets may have a windfall. Originally, Rivers would leave as a free agent and the Rockets could not get anything. Now they still have a chance to get back from the Knicks. Some fans hope that the Rockets will be compensated by young players and draft picks. To be honest, it's hard. The Rockets are now out of space, and the Knicks will not be so generous. Let's wait patiently for the results of the negotiations. In fact, it is okay for the Rockets to get a special deal.
Judging from the recent operations of Rockets General Manager Stone, he is still quite smart. Stone shipped Covington rallies, shot to grab potential insider Wood, and scoured a number of potential rookies with good height and physical fitness.
According to Michael Scotto's news, Stone also wants to continue to reinforce, he intends to stand tall 1.98 meters tall Glen Robinson. Glenn Robinson is 26 years old. Last season, he averaged 11.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals in 28.8 minutes per game. He made 39.1% of his three-pointers and had a shooting ability. It is not easy for the Rockets to win Glenn Robinson. They have to face competition from the Lakers, Clippers, Nets and Jazz. The joining of the good brother Cousins does not make McCola happy for too long. The Rockets marksman who gave the nickname "Hugh City Thunder Allen" will face fierce competition in the new season.
Although Rivers is gone, Stone has signed Brown and Nuwaba who has recovered from injury. They can both play guards and defend well. Super Sixth Man Gordon also needs enough playing time to play his worth. McCola only has the advantage of three-point accuracy. His defensive and organizational abilities cannot be reassuring. Silas may not reuse him. There is still one year left on Michael's contract. He who plans to get a big contract next summer must work hard to impress the head coach and win playing time for himself.
