The signing has not ended yet, the signing of the shooter strengthens the team s last link, and the buyout market may be unexpectedly surprised

The first day of free agent opening, the Rockets can be said to be one of the biggest winners in the league. The team first won Finney Smith in four years and $53 million, and then signed Capela for three years and $21.5 million, allowing the team's forward and inside line to be strengthened again. And the Rockets' lineup is currently missing a backcourt shooter, which will become very complete.

Given the Rockets' cap space, without a deal, they have to look for opportunities among basic players or buyout players. Currently, there are two players in the league that are very suitable for the Rockets. One is a former Rockets player, and the other is not weaker than Jaylen Green, who can sign a contract.

And the first player was Eric Gordon, a player who played for the Philadelphia 76ers last season. As one of the main players in the Rockets' War, Round-faced Deng has a very good deterrent power outside the three-point line, and he is also one of the top five players with the farthest three-point shooting distance in the league.

Last year, Gordon joined Philadelphia with a two-year contract of $6.77 million, in order to have a chance to compete for the championship, but things didn't go as expected. Three main players in Philadelphia were injured continuously, which made the 36-year-old Gordon sometimes had to serve as the team's main offensive force. After the rapid rise of the team McCain and Grimes, Gordon was greatly reduced in playing time. In the end, he averaged only 6.8 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 42.6%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.9%.

And yesterday, Gordon had announced that he had chosen to break out of his last year's $3.47 million contract, become a free agent, and continue to seek the possibility of a championship. And coming to the Rockets at this time may meet any of Gordon's requirements. In the early stages of the Rockets' reconstruction, when all previous players were traded, only Eric Gordon was willing to stay and hold on to the Rockets. It was only when Porter and Green had grown that Gordon expressed his idea of ​​changing teams to the team.

Three seasons ago, the Rockets sent him to the Clippers with Paul George and Leonard at the request of Gordon, and then went to the Suns and the Philadelphia 76ers, but still failed to win the championship as they wished. Now the Rockets have the strength to win the championship, and Gordon is also helpful to the team, signing him with a basic salary will be a good choice.

And the second player is Clarkson who played for the Jazz last season. If he is a free agent, the Rockets naturally have no salary to sign him. However, Clarkson and the Jazz had reached a buyout agreement before, and his contract had only one year left.

Last season in the Jazz, Clarkson averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. For this famous scoring expert in the league, this is his worst performance in five seasons. In terms of style and style, he is somewhat similar to Jaylen Green, the Rockets' 21st-time second-place player, so if the Rockets sign him, there may not be any problems with the new player running-in.

From the perspective of player technology, Clarkson is better than Jaylen Green in terms of scoring skills and stability, but his shortcomings are similar to Jaylen Green, and he has no strength on the defensive end. A week ago, the Jazz wanted to trade him, but after asking for the league, they did not find a suitable trading partner, so they had no choice but to cut him.

Currently in the league, some Knicks have an intention to Clarkson. There are reports that they will sign with Clarkson after he becomes a free agent. If the Rockets like this backcourt scorer, they may need to start contacting now and find a way to dig Clarkson from the Knicks. However, compared with Clarkson, who has strong offense and weak defense, perhaps Gordon, who has stable outside but not possesses the ball, is the Rockets' safer choice.
