Signing 4+2 defenders, Rockets center sacking will not affect the transaction, Stone frees up the spot and disrupts the buyout market

The Rockets' transaction involving Durant is a foregone conclusion. According to the rules, it will not be officially completed until July 6. The teams involved are likely to involve 7 teams, including the Lakers, Rockets, Hawks, Warriors and other teams. During the offseason this season, the Rockets and Nuggets led the Western Conference's reinforcement competition. The Lakers are still finding bargains and signing Ayton. Each team will have subsequent operations. Everything is ready, and the Rockets are currently missing a scorer besides Durant.

Whitmore was put on the shelves, and there are two possibilities. First, sign and then exchange for Finney Smith, trade Whitmore to the Lakers, and the second type of Rockets directly signed Smith with the middle class. On the back line, the Rockets themselves are relatively weak. The team focuses on the forward line and pays more attention to defense. Only Van Vleet, Shepard and Holiday Jr. are left with three No. 1 positions, including the first position, and the forward guards like Whitmore.

In order to further strengthen the back line, according to reporter Michael Scott, the Rockets signed defender Kevin Harris with a two-way contract, and he will participate in the summer league with the team. Harris has only played 36 times in his NBA career. In the 22-23 season, he played 34 times in his peak season, and averaged 4+2 per game. He did not have much impressive performance, but at least strengthened the defender. Last season in the Development League, he averaged 19.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, and had a three-pointer.

Kevin Harris is more about supplementing the third roster and the Development League in case of emergencies. The Rockets have never decided to sack Landale before, wanting to wait for him to have transaction value. According to reporter shams, the Rockets decided to sack the blue-collar center. Without Landale, it will not affect the big deal. After renewing Adams and signing Capela, Randale was destined to be destined. With his rebounding ability and three-pointers, it is not difficult to find a next home, and he will also join the team he likes.

Breakout of Landal is more like having to free up a place. This year's buyout market is unprecedented, and Lillard can be bought out by the Bucks and become a free agent. Many teams are interested in him. The Rockets can't sit still, and the Suns' Bill is talking to the team about a buyout. After the trade left Green, the Rockets lacked a genuine second-place scorer. He and Durant were teammates during the Suns. Although the cooperation was not very pleasant, the chemistry of different teams was different. If he was bought out, the Rockets could consider it.

Even if you cannot sign a buyout player, the Rockets can disrupt the situation and weaken the strength of their competitors. In two days, the Rockets can officially complete the big deal. This is just the beginning. There is still a certain gap between the championship lineup, and shooters and defenders still need to be supplemented. In addition to the transaction, the Rockets currently have a difficult question, when to renew the contract negotiations. Rising star Jabbarry Smith of the same level has completed the contract renewal with the team, and Stone signed Finney Smith again. It is unknown whether Ethan can stay in the team.
