Harden is indeed capable of leading the team in the regular season, but it is disappointing at critical moments in the playoffs. In the post-Harden era, Fertita wanted to build a Rocket with a tough team culture, and he fell in love with Uduka.
The first phase of the Rockets' reconstruction is to accumulate talent by playing badly, and head coach Silas is just a puppet. Fertita gave Uduka relatively high rights, and the core of the Rockets' second phase of reconstruction is the head coach.
Although the Rockets missed the playoffs last season, the team's mental outlook has improved significantly and has become a defensive youth team. This season, the Rockets have become the league's top defensive team and have reached the second place in the West. Udu Kata led the team to win 52 games in the regular season but ultimately missed the award for Best Coach.
NBA officially announced that Cavaliers coach Atkinson won the coach of the year this season. He won 59 first votes, 33 second votes, and 7 third-place votes, with a total score of 401 points.
Rockets general manager Stone once considered Kenny Atkinson. Former Houston famous reporter Feigan believes that Atkinson is suitable for the Rockets. He is a strict coach. He has worked under Adelman, Budenholzer, D'Anthony and Cole, and has rich experience. Atkinson did a good job at the Nets and was good at cultivating young players.
Former Rockets coach Bickstaff was successful at the Pistons and he ranked second. Current Rockets head coach Uduka only ranks third, and he won 7 first votes, 13 second votes, and 39 third-place votes, with a total score of 113 points.
Rockets were eliminated by Jaylen Green and became the biggest scapegoat. It is undeniable that Green did play poorly, far below the regular season level. However, Uduka, the core of the team, also has many problems, and he has also encountered many doubts from fans. Of course, from the moment, the Rockets have no plan to change their coach, and Uduka has won the support of Fertita and the management.
Jeren Green will leave in the offseason, but it is more just speculation from the American media. It will take some time for the Rockets management to evaluate the players. Fans who hope that the Rockets will train Whitmore after cleaning Jaylen Green may be disappointed, and the latter is not optimistic.
Uduka was disappointed with Jaylen Green, but looked down on Whitmore. So Uduka continues to coach the Rockets, and Whitmore's ending is likely to be leaving.
The Rockets will make two decisions in the near future.
First, whether the Rockets will execute Van Jordan's contract of $44.89 million in the last year. ESPN salary experts revealed that Van Jordan's contract stipulates that the Rockets will decide whether to implement the team options for next season within 5 days after the final game of the season. If the Rockets don't execute, Van Jordan will become a free agent. After that, the Rockets can negotiate a new contract with Van Jordan.
Uduka trusts Van Jordan extremely, and even if he plays badly, he will be the absolute main force. Van Jordan has performed poorly in the regular season, and although he has had three games in the playoffs, his offense is a nerve knife and his body is obviously falling. If Van Jordan spoke to the Rockets and Lions, Stone probably had to consider other options.
Second, who will go to Chicago to participate in the NBA lottery draw.
According to the official arrangement of the NBA, the joint trial in the G League will be from May 10 to 12, the joint trial in the NBA will be from May 12 to 19, and the NBA lottery will be from May 13.
In the past two years, Uduka has represented the Rockets in the lottery ceremony. Is he still the same this year?
