The latest news from the Rockets! Plan to leave 2 players and reuse 1 player, Durant is not the first choice to strengthen

The Rockets entered reconstruction after Harden left the team. They finally achieved success this season, with a regular season record of 52 wins and 30 losses, and made it to the playoffs for the first time in Harden. It’s a pity that in the playoffs, the Rockets failed to go further, and the team also plans to make some adjustments to the lineup this summer. The latest news is currently coming, including two people who want to stay and plan to reuse Shepard, and Durant is no longer the first choice for trading reinforcement.

The Rockets also have many players' contracts expired this summer, including Adams, Jeff Green and Tate, among which the Rockets want to stay most is Adams. In the playoff showdown with the Warriors, he showed great value on the court. Although he failed to advance in the end, his performance has been recognized by the team. However, Adams will definitely attract other teams to compete this summer, and the Rockets are also prepared for both. Once Adams cannot be retained, they will pursue Bucks inside Lopez to make up for this vacancy.

As for Jeff Green and Tate, they don’t have many opportunities to play in the Rockets, and staying can only be the basic salary of veterans, mainly depends on their wishes. In addition, another veteran, Aaron Holiday, is the team option with a salary of $4.9 million. The Rockets are still very interested in him and may choose the execution option to keep him in the team, even if he may have to reuse Tanhua to show Shepard in the new season.

As Shepard, the Tanhua Show last year, was originally highly anticipated, but unfortunately, the Rockets did not get enough opportunities, but the team still has great confidence in him. It is reported that the team plans to let him take on a more important role next season, and the coaching staff also hopes that he can realize his potential. This is also a good thing for him, it depends on whether he can grasp it. Once he can perform stably, he will hold the starting point guard position when VanVleet leaves.

Finally, it is the trading market. The Rockets have always been connected with Durant before, but the team has no longer paid much attention to him and is no longer the first choice to strengthen the target. Compared to Durant, the Rockets are more willing to bet on Antetokounmpo, after all, the latter is younger and meets the team's current needs. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Rockets choose to remain silent. After all, they are second in the West this season, so it makes sense that they remain unchanged. After the baptism of the playoffs, young players will definitely be more comfortable on the court.
