Although they missed the playoffs and even the playoffs, the Rockets experienced a very successful season. Their final record was 41 wins and 41 losses, with a victory rate of 50%. You know, before the start of the season, the expectation of the outside world for the Rockets is to strive for a place in the play offs as much as possible, and few people are optimistic that they will grow from a team with more than 20 wins to a team with a victory rate of more than 50%. Put the performance of the rocket in the east, the rocket can be ranked ninth. Considering their competitive environment, the overall performance of this rocket is worthy of recognition. 12.48 million. See you again. The future is uncertain. You can't meet the requirements of Hugh City.

There is no doubt that the Rockets have got rid of the label of "fish belly and rotten team". In the words of Rockets General Manager Stone, even if they don't do anything this offseason, the Rockets will be stronger next season because they have a signed in talent scout, and young people such as Amen Thompson, Javier Smith and Whitmore will continue to improve and become stronger, It's exciting to think about it. However, will the Rockets really not do business? Obviously, Stone is joking. When they accidentally got the exploratory visa from the Nets, everyone knows that at this stage, instead of continuing to look for potential to cultivate young people, the Rockets should improve their immediate combat power through trade. It is not only difficult to improve the combat power by hoarding a bunch of young people, but also the Rockets do not have so much space for rookies to improve their abilities.

Since it is a trade, there must be player chips. Among the core players of the Rockets, once the trade is started, Jay Green is bound to become one of the core chips of the Rockets. Van Fritt's contract is still two years away, and the Rockets can't trade him at this time. Even from the market perspective, if the Rockets want to take the premium contract of Van Fritt now, they need to take the first round signing as a reward for the opponent. This is not a good choice, nor is it what Udoka wants to see at this stage. Shen Jing is the mainstay of the Rockets. He has become the cornerstone of the Rockets. Jia Barry Smith, Jr., is the core of the Rockets' defense. Dillon, as a leader, is unlikely to leave. To put it bluntly, Green is the first person to be dealt with, whether in his own situation or in the future.

12.48 million yuan, which is Green's contract next season and the last year of his rookie contract. This offseason, Green is facing an early renewal of his contract, but judging from his rookie performance in the past three years, few people expect that the Rockets will be willing to give Green a long contract, let alone a big contract. In fact, Green's performance in the first half of this season has always been disappointing, as can be seen from the fact that he was abandoned by Udoka many times in the last quarter. In the position of the leader's cornerstone, he was far behind Shen Jing. However, Shen Jing's ankle sprain season was reimbursed to Green.

I don't think I need to elaborate on Green's performance in the whole March. He made the people of Houston excited, and the Rockets became a popular player in the league. In the fight for the playoff seats, the Rockets, which were more than five victories behind the Warriors, once made the Warriors nervous. At that time, most of the wind comments were made by Green, who should be the core boss of the Rockets. Shen Jing's slow and leisurely play and his defensive problems would only drag others down. Even without Shen Jing, the Rockets were a very good team, but if Green's performance was poor, the Rockets would be greatly affected. However, this situation only lasted for less than a month. After encountering playoff teams, especially targeted defense, Green's problems were completely exposed.

The inability to play the high-end game has become Green's Achilles' heel. Just as the Rockets were able to bite down teams such as Denver and Kings in the first half of the season, as well as other teams in the playoffs and even in the championship level, they felt uncomfortable. Shen Jing's internal control is the core that plays a key role. As a result, the discussion of trading Green was put on the table again. Before the trade deadline, the Rockets did discuss with the Nets about the trade of Green and a bunch of first round draft rights for Bridges, which was not "denied" by Fagan's report until this time. The latter said that the Rockets just wanted to exchange draft rights with the Nets.

Few people will believe this statement, which is simply to exchange someone's draft right for Sun's draft right? The Nets have no reason to exchange, and they still wait until the end of the season to have this report, which is a bit of the meaning that there is no silver here. It is clear to the outside world that the Rockets are preparing for Green's possible stay. After all, the latter is still a Rockets player, and the Rockets will not necessarily renew his contract. It is crucial to stabilize Green's mentality first. On his personal social network account, Green said that the playoffs with the Rockets next season would be very exciting, but the fact is that the Rockets may indeed enter the playoffs, and Green is not necessarily in the Rockets.
