Keep the core lineup, use the No. 10 sign for self-use? The Rockets team building plan has emerged, and they may miss the star

In the offseason, whether the Rockets should pursue superstars with all their might, or retain their current core lineup and use minor repairs to improve their overall strength, I guess the Rockets management has no clear idea at the moment, or the Rockets management still needs to study slowly before formulating a team building plan this summer. The Rockets' reconstruction plan for the past few years was very simple and crude - that was, under the leadership of Coach Silas, he tried his best to play badly. After three consecutive years of playing badly, the Rockets gained its own core lineup, namely 7 young players.
Shin Kyung has now become the Rockets' own All-star, and Ethan, Jaylen Green, Smith Jr., and Amen Thompson have also become important rotations for the Rockets. Even the two outside players, Shepard and Whitmore, who have few opportunities this season, have certain strength and talent.
So, if the Rockets want to retain their core lineup, they don't have to chase the so-called stars. After all, the Rockets have to pay a huge price to get those stars. This is probably something Rockets general manager Stone and the Rockets management don't want to take a risk. After all, the Rockets are already the No. 2 seed of the Western Conference this season. Even if the Rockets get superstars next season, they may not be able to win second place in the Western Conference again.
According to the Rockets' team reporter Ben Dubos, Fertita believes that the Rockets not only need a large number of talents, they also need good chemistry. What the Rockets have to do is not bring in players and let them in and out, and replace half of the team's lineup for a superstar.
What the Rockets need to worry about now is the team's chemistry, and they cannot evaluate the overall strength of a team from paper strength. In other words, it is unlikely that the Rockets will split the team in exchange for a superstar. After all, the Rockets' chemistry is very good now, and it's enough to introduce a player with scoring ability this summer.
Rockets general manager Raphael Stone also has the same view. Although he believes that introducing superstars can make the Rockets better, training young players as the cornerstone of the future can make the Rockets become a championship-level team step by step. Ben Dubos believes that if the Rockets can stick to this lineup, then these young talented players can further develop the Rockets and achieve a leap in their record. If the Rockets can retain their existing core lineup and add the first round No. 10 picks that the Rockets have this summer, the Rockets will have even better talent next season. After all, the Rockets already have 7 very good young players. If the Rockets can use this first round No. 10 pick by themselves instead of using it as one of the bargaining chips to exchange for the so-called star players, then the Rockets will add the 8th young player next season to the 7 young players.
Therefore, the Rockets' strength next season is not necessarily worse than the introduction of superstars, and the Rockets' chemistry will become better. After all, this lineup has basically been used by Uduka for two seasons, and the chemistry of this lineup will be even better next season. In addition to the rookie who was picked by the Rockets by themselves, the overall strength of the Rockets will obviously improve.
