Kelly Aiko's latest revelations have sparked heated discussions among Rockets fans.
The Houston reporter said that the Rockets are looking for a center and are interested in Halten and Bamba .
Halten and Bamba are both good, which one should I choose? Everyone started a lively discussion.
The 24-year-old Halten, who is 2.13 meters tall and is a former Rockets player, has competed with Zhou Qi. He may not have much interest in returning to Houston.
Halten was never reused in the Rockets. Stone believed that his talent was limited and suggested that the general manager at the time lay him off.
Halten wanted to prove that the Rockets made a mistake in giving up on him. He worked hard to learn from Jokic in Nuggets and developed his passing skills.
The Clippers gave Halten the opportunity to show his worth (averaging 8.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 blocks in 17 minutes per game last season), and he is very grateful for this.
Don’t forget the kindness of knowing you! Famous reporter Mark Stern revealed that Halten has great interest in renewing his contract with the Clippers.
The Clippers want to play the emotional card to keep people, but the Magic want to intercept Hu Halten. They are in the leading position among many suitors.
The talented Magic team didn't like Bamba and gave up providing a qualifying offer, making him a completely free agent.
Bamba is 24 years old, 2.13 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.39 meters. Last season, he averaged 10.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.7 blocks in 25 minutes per game. He, like former Rockets player Tucker, came from the University of Texas.
Do the Rockets have a chance to sign Bamba?
According to previous reports from the American media, Bamba wants the main position and enough ball rights, as well as a multi-year contract with an annual salary of more than 10 million US dollars.
Rocket cannot meet these two requirements of Bamba.
Houston senior reporter Fagan revealed that the Rockets will let Alperon Sengon serve as the team's starting center next season. His playing time is expected to be 25 to 30 minutes, and then he will play in a small lineup for 8 to 10 minutes. All the Rockets want is a backup center, and they are not expected to use the entire mid-level team.
According to the latest news from "Bleachers", Bulls and Raptors are in the leading position in the battle for Bamba, Lakers are also very interested in him.
If Halten and Bamba don't come, do the Rockets have other targets?
Kelly Aiko said the Rockets may consider signing veteran center Dieng.
Gorgui Diang is 32 years old and 2.08 meters tall with a wingspan of 2.22 meters. Last season, he averaged 3.5 points and 2.8 rebounds per game in the regular season, shooting 47.3% from the field, 42.6% from the three-point range, and 73.1% from the free throw line. season After the game, averaged 1.5 points and 1.5 rebounds per game, and his one-year contract of US$4 million has expired.
Gorgui Dieng is willing to accept the role of a substitute. It is not a problem to play ten minutes in each game. He is good at eating cakes and can open up space to shoot three-pointers. He has a certain passing ability and is in line with the Rockets' tactical system. The key is that it's cheap and there is a chance to win it with a basic salary.
It is worth mentioning that Dieng once had a conflict with Rockets players during a game when he was playing for the Timberwolves.
At that time, Paul made too many small moves during the fight, which made Ji Ang angry. Gion pushed Paul to the ground hard. The kindhearted Gerald Green stood up for Paul and pushed Dieng out of the sidelines. After the game, Dieng said that Paul's little move made him unhappy, so he fought back.
