Westbrook finally left. Although Westbrook played only one season with the Rockets, it can be seen that the combination of Westbrook + Harden was obviously unsuccessful. The two played in the game more uncomfortable. After all, Westbrook once played During the Thunder period, he was the second brother, and Harden was the third brother. After coming to the Rockets, although Westbrook was still the second brother, Harden became the eldest brother. This difference in status will definitely affect the distribution of the duo’s ball rights and In the tactical position, the Rockets take Harden as the absolute core. Perhaps Westbrook, like Paul, is used to being the boss and unable to adapt to being the second child.
To the outside world, the Rockets’ deal with the Wizards feels that the Rockets are losing money, and they don’t understand why it can be achieved. For Westbrook and Wall, both of them can be said to have been relieved, although the Wizards There is also Bill staying behind, but the ball will definitely be concentrated in the hands of Westbrook, who can continue to control the team's absolute ball rights. Although Wall has experienced major injuries, his ambition is still there. For so many years, the whole state of the team has been tepid, not going up and down, every time it has to make every effort to break through and score, but it can't get the support it deserves. The reason why this deal can be reached so quickly , It’s also related to the eagerness of both of them to change teams. Both have three years left on their contracts, and their salary is relatively matched. It’s just that the Wizards have a relatively low transaction value due to Wall’s long-term injury, so take more Got a draft pick. Although this deal will not greatly improve or help the overall strength of the two teams, let's make a living.
However, if you take a closer look at the deal between Paul and Westbrook last summer, the Rockets have lost their homes, because the Rockets also gave out two first-round picks and two future first-round exchanges. The right to the Thunder, and this time Westbrook only asked for one more first-round pick from the Wizards. It can be seen that Westbrook has indeed depreciated a lot in the Rockets this year, which is equivalent to the Rockets swapping Paul for Wall, and the Rockets still pay. Lost one first-round pick and two first-round swaps. Looking back at Paul’s performance in the Thunder last year, it is estimated that the Rockets regretted it, and regretted that Paul should be given such a large long-term contract. Regret for not allowing Paul and Westbrook to swap clubs and losing so many draft picks. Regret that Morey couldn't help but fail to deal with it in time.
However, the Rockets have done their best to Westbrook. Harden’s shooting power has changed from first to second. He will consider giving him a rotation when he encounters back-to-back in the regular season. He also took a four-game break in the first round of the playoffs. But his performance can be said to be very disappointing. He is also dissatisfied with his performance and wants to gain greater control. This year not only he is uncomfortable, Harden is uncomfortable, and the entire Rockets are very uncomfortable. So when he proposed to the management that he wanted to be traded, the Rockets management readily agreed and actively sought buyers.
On the other hand, Harden, who was a bit fierce at the beginning, stopped after Westbrook was formally sent away. In fact, everyone knows that Harden started to say that he wanted to join Durant with the Nets. There is no matching transaction contract, but there is no way. This must not force the management to speed up the process of trading Weisha. Recently, according to local media reports in Houston, Harden has returned to the Houston training center to participate in training. He also knows that with the Rockets’ external offer, few teams can take so many draft picks, so next season, Ha There is a high probability that he will stay in the Rockets.
and previously reported by reporters that Harden also opened a local restaurant in Houston, which is expected to officially open on January 1 of next year, and is still preparing for recruitment for this store. It seems that Harden has a deep heart Chu still didn't plan to leave the Rockets. After all, to go to other teams, either a team that is too weak, or a team that is too strong, but you can't be the boss.
Harden and Westbrook are too dependent on the ball. They are not very compatible with each other. Now Westbrook is gone and Harden stays, it is still very good for each other Yes, as for the championship? Don't think about it for the time being!
