Recently, "Houston Chronicle" reporter Jonathan Fegan wrote an article about some of the stories behind the Rockets and Harden deal. At that time, the Rockets were unwilling to trade Harden and wanted to keep him, but after coach D'Antoni left, the team missed Tyronnlue again. Harden was frustrated and determined to leave.
Harden really can't be blamed. Although they lost to the Lakers in the playoffs last year, Harden did not decide to leave and is still discussing plans for reinforcement with D'Antoni. But on the plane, D'Antoni announced his departure, and Harden also had the idea of leaving. During this period, the Rockets also hoped to continue to build a team around him and provided him with a three-year $150 million renewal offer.
In the coaching session, the team once again ignored the choices of Harden and Westbrook. Both of them wanted the team to sign the championship coach Tylen Lue. The two sides also exchanged ideas and were very close to joining hands. Obviously, the Rockets are not willing to spend a lot of money on the coach, so the Clippers left the champion coach.
He was the Clippers' assistant coach last season, and now he has become the coach. The outside world also has some misunderstandings about Taryn Lue, thinking that he can win the championship because of James' light.
But after becoming the coach, Tyronnlue modified Leonard and George's. They have more echoes with their teammates, and both have a career high in assists per game. After 51 minutes of defeating the Lone Ranger, the Clippers have achieved a complete renewal, and now they have won 7 consecutive victories, surpassing the Lakers once again, and reaching the top of the league.
I have to say that Taryn Lue is really underestimated. His arrival has successfully solved the problem of internal disharmony in the Clippers. He is willing to communicate more with players offensively, and the team is no longer too much. Fell into the locker room problem.
More importantly, he made Leonard a leader, and the words began to grow. This is what the team needs him to do. George was defined as a 3D player last season, and his performance was a complete mess, but under Tylen Lue, his state was greatly improved. Under the leadership of Leonard and George, the Clippers are back on track, and they will still be the biggest enemy of the defending champion Lakers in the new season.
Seeing this, do the Rockets regret it? Just to save money, some great opportunities were missed, and the choice of coach Silas was completely incomprehensible. You know, the Rockets still have Harden, that is, a playoff-level team, but at this time they gave up the more experienced D'Antoni, and missed the championship coach Tylen Lu, and chose a rookie coach Silas instead. Are you heading for the championship?
In the end, Harden and Westbrook agreed that Silas took office, but they didn't want to stay. The winning window here has been closed. So Westbrook went to the Wizards, and Harden joined the Nets after a few games as he wished to join Durant.
Now the Clippers, led by Taryn Lue, have won a 7-game winning streak to the top of the league, becoming the favorites;
Harden teamed up with Durant and Irving, although the current state is not very good. Good, but they are still worth looking forward to;
Look at the Rockets again, get Wall and Oladipo, there is Wood in the team, looking at the lineup configuration is good, but they all have great potential injuries. Whether it will reach the playoffs is still unknown.
