On July 16, the Rockets' summer league trip did not end. Although the Rockets' young defender Shepard no longer plays in the summer league, the Rockets still need to rely on the summer league to discover talents. After all, center Dante, as well as their forwards Matthews and Harris, are all substitutes in the Rockets' important third-tier team next season.
If the Rockets want to do something next season, in addition to the starting lineup and the main rotation lineup, the Rockets' third lineup must also stand up in time. After all, it is impossible to rely on the 10 players in the rotation lineup to play a full 82 NBA regular season games. They need marginal players and veterans in the third lineup to come forward and add to the rotation lineup. In particular, the Rockets have always been a team with more injuries. Last season, players such as Smith Jr. and Van Vreet were absent for a long time due to injuries, so the Rockets had to make their lineup deeper.
In fact, during this summer's offseason, the Rockets' lineup can almost be said to be a major change. Seven players have left in the lineup last season. Rockets, we can take a look. First, Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks, two main players last season, were packaged and traded to the Suns for Durant. Then the Rockets cut off two frontcourt players from Australia, McVay and Langdale. McVeigh is now playing well in the Hawks' summer league lineup, and helped the Hawks beat the Rockets the previous game.
Landal just completed the signing with the Grizzlies, and he signed a basic salary with the Grizzlies next season. In addition, the Rockets also sent Whitmore to the Wizards in the East for two second-round draft picks. In addition, the Rockets also sent their forward David Rody to the Hawks in Durant's trade, but he was later cut. The Rockets finally cut off their backup guard Nate Williams. In this way, as many as 7 players from last season left the team.
The most influential among them is naturally Dillon and Jaylen Green, who are the core of the Rockets' defense and offense last season. Whitmore also has good talent and scoring ability, and the departure of these three players has damaged the Rockets' strength. But the Rockets are not without movements. Some people leave and some people join the Rockets. The players introduced this summer are very strong. The first to be hit is the super forward and 37-year-old superstar Durant. The Rockets, Capela and Finney Smith, both signed contracts.
These three players are the Rockets' most important signings this summer, especially Durant, which has comprehensively improved the overall strength of the Rockets. Finney Smith has increased the Rockets' three-point shooting ability and consolidated the defense of the inside and forwards, while Capela is even more capable of protecting the basket. He is also a mobile and flexible center.
In addition, the Rockets also signed defensive forward Cameron Matthews with a training camp contract, who represented the Rockets in the summer league. In addition, he signed forward-guard swingman Kevin Harris with a two-way contract, and the player also represented the Rockets in this summer league. So 7 players left and 5 players joined. At present, the Rockets' 15-man luxury lineup has basically taken shape.
Although it seems that the Rockets have left the team, in fact, the overall strength of the players who have left the team is far from keeping up with the players who have joined. Now the Rockets still have a certain salary space and several player positions, and Manager Stone can continue to introduce new players to strengthen the depth of the lineup.
