Officially confirmed that Stone s operation detonates the alliance, and the No. 1 pick in 2017 joins, Shebbode is too worried

The Houston Rockets' operations throughout the offseason were armed to the teeth. After getting a scoring killer like Kevin Durant from the trade, the team is still taking heavy blows in the free market. The 3D wing Finney Smith, Okogi and substitute center Capela were signed one after another, and the entire frontcourt lineup was undoubtedly full. In addition, they also completed early contract renewal with Van Jordan, Adams, and Jabarry Smith Jr., so the Rockets' ranks are directly full, and it is necessary for many players to compete for playing time in the tactical system of head coach Uduka. As of now, the team still lacks a standard contract. I originally thought that such a foreshadowing might not be revealed until the middle of the season. I never expected that Stone's ambitions would be underestimated.

According to The Athletic reporter Kelly Iko, the Houston Rockets will sign a training camp contract with 2017 No. 1 pick Markle Fultz. Although Fultz, 28, is difficult to appear on the court due to injury problems, he is still trying to overcome all difficulties. Perhaps it is this tenacity that made him favored by the Sacramento Kings in the middle of last season, so both sides signed a basic salary contract. Although he only played 26 regular season games for the team, he could only obtain 8.8 minutes of playing time per game in the new coach Christie's system and handed over 2.9 points and 1 rebound. If nothing unexpected happens, the Kings management completely gave up on continuing cooperation with the former during the offseason.

As a free agent, Fultz is still looking forward to finding an opportunity to return to the NBA. However, for the Kings, whose future is chaotic and direction is unknown, he is not a match made by heaven. This intersection is at most just a formality and fills the vacancy left by Dalun Fox after he switched to San Antonio. Now, due to signing German team's main defender Schroder in the free market, the management has started trading negotiations for the crowded backcourt. They are trying to send away the former best sixth man, Monk, to free up valuable places and sign former MVP winner Westbrook. Compared to the temptation of basic salary, Fultz is not as attractive as the 36-year-old veteran. Thankfully, Fultz can seek a new job in other leagues with his outstanding athletic talent, perfect luck control skills and a signature emergency stop jump shot. Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. His poor performance in the Kings not only failed to achieve the expected goal, but he became a victim of this attempt, and was even involved in the verdict of "the top pick in parallel". However, there is no way out, and a rocket that strengthens like a tiger finally wakes up at the last moment. Even if the team's lineup does not have many problems, the team's personnel reserves at No. 1 are worrying. Apart from Van Vleet, it is Shepard, the 2024 Tanhua Show.

For the Rockets management, it is not difficult to understand their desire to carefully cultivate potential rookies into the cornerstone of the team's future team building. However, many problems such as rookies' thin and weak figure, poor confrontational ability, excessive reliance on feel and lack of organizational ability are like invisible shackles, which restrict the Rockets' upward pace and limit the team's development limit. From Stone's perspective, the move to sign Fultz is undoubtedly a very variable X factor for the team. Fultz has full potential and is fully capable of growing into an outstanding outside scorer. At the same time, rich experience and profound experience have fully proved that compared with Shebbode, he is more mature and steady, and is more capable of taking on the offense and organizational leverage in the team's rotation lineup.
