The Rockets are also doing their best to send Harden where he originally wanted to go. The Nets reunited with former big brother Durant. In exchange for Oladipo, Saksam, Kuruz, as well as 4 unprotected first-round picks and 4 draft exchange rights. Although many people questioned why they didn't trade for , Irving, and , after careful study, they will find that the calculating rockets have already understood everything, and the seemingly losing trade has made the team directly jump and to return to the championship.
Audi Dipo has been subject to controversy since his injury, but this season's average of 20 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.7 steals per game is not as good as the peak of the year, but it is more than enough to be a qualified starting shooting guard for the team. The bottom pick of the 13th year and the 2nd All-Star is still there.
Wood is undoubtedly the Rockets’ most profitable signing this season, averaging 22.6 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. already has a trace of the shadow of the All-Star insider. Z1z Wall who averaged 18.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game also proved him. The peak period is still there. The core lineup of Wood + Wall + Oladipo can be regarded as a set of quasi-all-star lineups. With the addition of the benches of Sachsam + Gordon + Tucker + Kurutz and others, it seems not difficult to return to the Western power. . Although the
lineup is strong, the injuries of Wall and Oladipo are not reassuring. However, the Rockets are probably already in place. Oladipo’s contract expires this summer, and Tucker, , Gordon, and others are also able to vacate salary space at any time. The existing lineup can play as well as it can be. After a sale to release space, and there are a lot of draft picks in hand, why not worry that no big stars will join by then? The rocket can even be rebuilt seamlessly.
On both sides, the Rockets are making a profit, but although the Nets who got Harden form the Super 3 giants, they are also afraid of falling into the trouble of happiness. Harden + Irving + Durant are all stars who need a lot of ball power to play. Can the combination of the three be greater than 3? Irving has been very headstrong lately. Has this announced the arrival of "infighting" in advance? So the Nets may have a series of moves next.
