In the trading market, the Rockets have always been on the cusp. After all, the influence of the two players-Harden and Westbrook-is too large, but they have not reported a deal that shocked the alliance. Instead, they insisted on the consistent money-saving model. Repair the lineup.
In addition, the Rockets have realized that last season's "Death Five" was self-defeating, and began to reinforce the inside line. First, Wood was acquired by signing and swapping. The contract was $41 million in three years.
In the 2019-2020 season, Wood played 62 games on behalf of the Pistons, averaging 21.4 minutes per game, averaging 13.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists, shooting 56.7% from the field and 38.6% from the three-point field. Z9z
later signed the former All-Star power center Cousins. According to reports, the Rockets signed Cousins with a one-year non-guaranteed contract. Last year, Cousins signed with the Lakers. However, because of a torn cruciate ligament in a private training, the Lakers waived Cousins in order to free up the signing quota. Z1z
's career so far, Z8z Cousins has averaged 32.0 minutes per game, 21.2 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.4 blocks, 46.1% shooting and 33.2% three-pointers.
Once upon a time, Cousins was an All-Star power center in the league, and once sat on the throne of the number one center. However, the injury came so suddenly, the Achilles tendon rupture and the cruciate ligament tear had already stolen his talent. However, for the Rockets, Cousins is a brand new start. You don't need to return to the top. As long as you play healthy and complete the 20-minute rotation, both parties will earn.
After completing the signing of Cousins, Warshen also revealed that the Rockets have a high probability of staying on the team at the same time: "The Rockets have talked about the Westbrook deal with other teams, but they have not talked about the Harden deal. New season , Harden and Westbrook are more likely to stay in the Rockets."
Westbrook and Harden have long announced that they are leaving the Rockets, but everything is not that simple. Westbrook's market transaction value is declining, and not many teams are interested in getting him. Harden appointed the Nets, but the chips given by the Nets were not enough to attract the attention of the Rockets, and the Rockets intend to harm each other with Harden.
If Harden and Westbrook stay on the team at the same time, the Rockets will still have the strength to reach the semi-finals and even disrupt the entire Western Conference. Especially after Wood and Cousins join, the overall internal strength will rise sharply.
