Complete free agent, Paul George suggests Lillard joining the Rockets, 3 advantages are coveting
4:07pm, 14 July 2025Basketball
Lillard ignited the free market just after the clarification period. George pushed the Rockets hard on his blog. Can this suggestion really work?
Ask me to say that the Rockets may be Lillard's wisest choice. The three major advantages of the Rockets pointed out by George are indeed reasonable.
The lineup is deep enough. During Lillard's recovery, VanVleet was carrying the back line. Durant led young core members such as Shin Kyung and Amen to fight for the record, so there was no need to rush to come back to put out the fire.
More importantly, the Rockets' top-ranked team in the league - Amen, Durant, Ethan, Xiao Jia, and Shin Jing are all above 2 meters. The defensive end can weave a protective net for Lillard, hiding his weaknesses he is targeted tightly.

Checked the latest updates, and Lillard's team was moving amazingly fast.
less than 24 hours after the George show, Rockets general manager Stone was photographed meeting Lillard's agent in a high-end restaurant in Houston, and Durant also appeared at the same place that night.
This signal is obvious enough, right?

Rockets management is obviously playing the game.
Salary barrier?
is not a problem at all.
The Bucks have to give Lillard 113 million for free, and the Rockets can make room by clearing out marginal contracts such as Landale or Tate. The latest news is that the Rockets are already talking to the Bulls about Landal's deal, which is estimated to be done within 48 hours.
In contrast, the other competitors, the Celtics suddenly withdrew their offer this morning and turned to chase Holiday. The Trail Blazers management was so anxious that they flew directly to Miami to block people, but Lillard's team did not arrange a meeting at all.
George's "a loose championship environment" is the insightful opinion. Lillard can be a "shadow core" for two years in the Rockets, and run in tactics while recovering, and then fight Durant to the king after he is fully recovered. If you are in other teams, fans and media will stare at your comeback schedule every day, and the pressure will crush people.

Durant + Lillard + Shinkyung? This offensive firepower is too terrifying
George is really poisonous to see people. The Rockets' configuration is customized for Lillard. The Bucks give money for free. The Rockets pick it up and pick it up. This operation is simply a win-win situation. The veteran joins the new team with injuries and is most afraid of the system being inappropriate. However, in the Rockets, Durant is the tactical axis. Lillard can play in a concentration of 25+ per game even if he is not playing without the ball. Not to mention that the two big hearts take over the game in a critical moment, this scene is exciting to think about. Now it depends on whether Stone can get the contract details within 72 hours. Big fish like the free market will not wait for anyone.
