The Rockets officially announced a deal today. Houston paid a protected second-round pick with the top 55 pick in exchange for the Cavaliers' Kevin Porter. This is also the second deal after the Harden deal.
After the start of the new season, the operation of the Rockets has attracted the attention of many fans, and everyone is speculating about what the Rockets choose to cause the stab player Porter in such a sensitive period. As the No. 30 show in 2019, Porter is only 20 years old this year, with a height of 1.93 meters and a wingspan of 2.06 meters. His physical fitness is very outstanding. Last season
Porter's average of 10+3.2 per game was amazing, and the Rockets management also saw its potential. Moreover, the US media believes that Porter is likely to become an important bargaining chip in the Rockets' third transaction.
According to the news from the US media FW, the Rockets will continue to sign in, but the position of signing is not the player, but the management.
So far, Stone is the general manager of the Rockets, but it is reported that they will add a deputy general manager. After Stone took office, his main job was to revolve around Harden's big deal. At this time, to add a deputy general manager, the Rockets' intention is very obvious, which is to prepare for the potential big deal.
Now the Rockets have an uneven distribution of internal stars. As a team during the reconstruction period, the Rockets do not need too many players with long-term big contracts. Counting Wall still has three years of contract this season, it is not easy to get his shot smoothly. Gordon and Wall are in a similar situation. These are the two big contracts the Rockets need to deal with first.
The contracts of Oladipo, Tucker, House and McClemo are about to expire, and the Rockets management is eager to realise them into future assets. In other words, there are already 6 players on the Rockets trading shelf, and they are all trading chips for the team's reconstruction. It has to be said that where the Rockets will go in the post-Harden era is really unpredictable now, but the management at least made the decision to rebuild. This is also a new beginning.
