Rockets are basically difficult to rebuild this offseason, despite Westbrook and James Harden's application for trade. But Westbrook is difficult to shoot, although Harden has a lot of teams asking for prices. But the Rockets are unwilling to negotiate. They still want to keep Harden. The Rockets don't even want to negotiate Harden deals with other teams. In fact, the Rockets can come back for another year. Westbrook is now at a historical low value. If Westbrook can increase the value in the new season, it will be a relief for the Rockets and Westbrook himself.
The Rockets also did a good job signings. The former general manager and head coach D'Antoni left. The Rockets’ magic ball system collapsed, and the team’s lineup was more reasonable than deformed. The Rockets signed the 2.08-meter insider Wood for 41 million in three years. He is a poor man version of Davis, who can eat pie and three-pointers.
In addition, the Rockets also scored Cousins as an inside substitute. There is also Wu Teng, the 2.03 meter springman inside. The rookies Tate and Brown are also 1.96-meter guards, and the overall height of the Rockets has increased. The new general manager, Stone, reopened the Rockets’ mess. The most important thing about
is that the rocket reinforcements are in place. Now that the backcourt is enough, Westbrook + Harden + Gordon's combined annual salary exceeds 100 million US dollars. The Rockets do not need to bring in guards. It is reasonable to use two rookie guards Brown and Tate to pay dividends. The Rockets still have a roster, and their reinforcements are still inside and forward.
reported today in The Athletic Rockets reporter Kelly Iko that the Rockets have provided free agent striker Bruno Caboclow with a two-year contract offer.
Iko wrote: "We have made some investments in Cabo Kolo before, and now hope that he can return, he is very young and can continue to improve!"
last season Rockets traded Jordan Bell from the Grizzlies to get Cabo Kolo. It's a pity that Caboclo's return has not been reused. D'Antoni is a head coach who doesn't like to use newcomers, plus only 8 people in rotation. Caboclo can only play in garbage time. He averaged 3.5 points and 2 rebounds in 8 games.
With D'Antoni leaving this year, Silas, who likes to reuse newcomers, settles in. Caboclo is also very interested in returning to the Rockets. Because if D'Antoni doesn't leave, Caboclo doesn't want to come back to see the drinking fountain, just like Gary Clark of Magic. Now Caboclo is hungry for returning to the Rockets.
The Rockets' contract to Caboclo is 2 year-end salary, the second year team option. The two parties plan to sign a contract as soon as possible. There is nothing wrong with Caboclo's return.
because today Caboclo talked about the Rockets, basically the official announcement. Caboclo said: "The Rockets provided me with an offer and hoped to make it as soon as possible. Yes, I have not signed with them yet. But I think I will stay here next season. I feel that they need him now, which is completely different from the past. It’s not the same. My hard work every day can finally be rewarded. I’m only 25 years old and I can inject vitality into the Rockets.”
Caboclo is 2.06 meters tall and has a terrifying 2.31 meters wingspan. He can touch the basket while standing. Talent is terrible. Nicknamed Brazil Durant.
Caboclo was the 20th overall pick in the first round of 2014. The Rockets wanted to draft Caboclo in 2014. But after being cut by the Raptors, the Rockets chose Capella. Caboclo is higher than Capella, and the outside world believes that Caboclo has finished Capella in terms of talent.
Cabo Kolo originally played at the 3 position but the speed was not fast enough. The positioning is now 4-5. Silas has previously stated that next season the Rockets will no longer be the system that Harden and Westbrook will play infinite singles and others will see more team basketballs and running balls. The rotation will also become normal, and newcomers can blossom.
