The Celtics have determined to dismantle the team, and the famous reporter predicts that the Rockets are the beneficiaries. Should Houston pay more attention to the three substitutes?

As the defending champion, the Celtics suffered a lot of misfortunes this season. Not only did many main players plummet in their condition, but the core Jason Tatum was seriously injured again. So after losing to the Knicks in the second round, the Celtics did not even enter the Eastern Conference Finals. If the title was successfully defended, the Celtics might still retain the main lineup framework, but now it is necessary to carry out a major cleanup.

As expected, from the current trends, the Celtics have basically decided to break up the team, and famous reporter Brett Segal has expressed his opinion that the Rockets will be the main beneficiary. After all, the Celtics have tight salary space, and of course the Celtics tend to leave behind a double-Tanhua, and Derek Wai's price ratio is also very high, so Ju Holiday and Porzingis are more likely to be sent away by the Celtics.

Of course, these two players are relatively high in salary and their condition is declining, so the Rockets' pursuit of them is not very meaningful, so Houston should pay more attention to the three substitutes of the Celtics. The first to bear the brunt is Payton Prichard. He has made significant progress this season and has become the top super sixth man in the league. Payton Prichard averages 14.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 0.9 steals per game. Considering that he is only 27 years old, many people think that if Payton Prichard changes his team, he may not have the strength of the third leader. After all, even though the Celtics missed the Eastern Conference Finals, Payton Prichard's data and efficiency did not decline much, especially the three-point shooting percentage remained above 40%, and it was his fault for the team to be eliminated.

The other two are in the frontcourt. Sam Hauser's high-end innings is unstable, but at least in the regular season, he is also a forward-guard swingman with qualified rotation skills. This season, Sam Hauser averaged 8.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game. The basic data looks very average, but the Rockets lack reliable pitchers. This is exactly what Sam Hauser is good at. His 41.6% three-point shooting percentage is among the top in the league. Sam Hauser also created a miracle, that is, he has not lost free throws throughout the season. Although the number is a little smaller, it is not easy to do it.

Finally, Luke Connett, who is rarely paid attention to as a Celtics substitute center. But the Celtics were in trouble in the playoffs, Porzingis' form plummeted, and Al Horford was also old. At this time, Luke Cornett provided great help to the Celtics, especially in the fifth game of the series, he scored 10 points and 9 rebounds, plus an astonishing 7 blocks. Considering that the Rockets side, Steven Adams and Jock Landale are likely to leave the team, so it is better to regard him as a potential replacement.
