Rockets General Manager Raphael Stone's series of operations before the start of the new season were surprising, and he had to respect him. Without any warning, Harkless, Maledon, and Callistan were cut off, and Dalius Des and Terrence Mitchell were quickly signed. In particular, Dess' signing was exaggerated by the American media. He is a teammate of Rockets' No. 217 rookie Tari Ethan in Louisiana State University's teammate, with a height of 2.01 meters and a weight of 111 kilograms. He is a power forward on the court. Although he was out of the draft, he averaged 13.8 points and 10 rebounds per game during the Summer League. With his excellent performance, he refreshed the impression of executives of many teams. In order to get him, Stone sacrificed two players with guaranteed contracts. This shows that his attention to Dess is very similar to that of Meng Zhui Meng Green and PJ Tucker, and has certain training value.
Rockets boss Feltita did not set goals for the team in the new season, which was interpreted by Jonathan Feigan, a reporter from Houston Chronicle, as his default sign that the team will continue to play badly. After all, French center Vinban Yama is regarded as a once-in-a-century genius player and is expected to dominate the NBA league in the future. The Rockets management hopes to enter the camp that competes for him. But judging from the three preseason games that have been held, ranking at the bottom of the league for two consecutive years has made the Rockets players hold up. With the rapid growth of the backcourt dual-core Jaylen Green and Porter Jr. Entering the last year of the contract, they all want to prove themselves in the upcoming new season. Although head coach Silas is a bad player, he dare not openly lose the game. Sending off experienced veteran Gordon will undoubtedly provide him with an excuse to be even worse.
Godon is 33 years old and his career has entered its final stage. If he cannot get a championship ring, it will be a regret for his life. For this reason, Gordon changed his agent not long ago to show his determination to leave Houston. According to the US media "Cleveland Honest People", senior executives of the Rockets, Cavaliers, and Raptors have begun to negotiate a three-party transaction quotation. If the negotiations go smoothly, the transaction is expected to be reached before the start of the new season. The specific transaction plan is: 1. The Rockets send Gordon + Knicks to get Okoro + Ottoman + Flynn; 2. The Cavaliers to get Okoro + Ottoman + Windler + 1 future first round pick to get Anunobi + Knicks; 3. The Raptors to get Anunobi + Flynn get Gordon + Windler + 1 future first round pick (provided by Cavaliers ).
For the Rockets, although this deal did not receive a first-round pick in Gordon's trade, Ocorro is undoubtedly a more valuable player than the first-round pick. He is the No. 5 rookie in 2020, and is only 21 years old this year. He plays as an forward guard and swing man. His performance on the defensive end is extremely strong and he is often responsible for guarding the opponent's number one scorer on the outside. Of course, the Cavaliers are unwilling to send potential star Ocoro away easily, but if they can get Anunobi, it would be a different matter. Mitchell and Alan are both only 1.85 meters tall. Cavaliers head coach Bickstaff hopes to find a striker with a sufficient size to increase the outside height. Okoro is 1.96 meters tall and Anunobi is 2.03 meters tall. It is obvious that the latter is more suitable for partners Alan and Mitchell.
Rptors management has done a lot of work to keep Anunobi this summer, but the effect is not significant. His lazy performance in the preseason has disappointed Toronto fans, which is also seen as a behavior of forcing the management to use practical actions. The Raptors' expectation for Anunobi's trade is two first-round picks, while Rockets veteran Gordon is more than enough to exchange for a first-round, so this deal basically meets the Raptors' trade expectations.
