Rockets trade summary: The 14+3 roster confirmed that the front line is full, and 2 hidden dangers are not eliminated and are not worthy of competing for the championship!

The forward line is full, and the Rockets' 14+3 roster is confirmed!

On July 27, the Houston Rockets signed two more players, signing two-way contracts with defender JD Davidson and small forward Isaiah Crawford. In addition, Kevin Harris signed earlier, the team's three two-way contract players filled! In addition, there are 14 players on the Rockets' roster with standard contracts (Durant, Shinkin, Van Vreett, Steven Adams, Dorian Finney Smith, Jabbarry Smith Jr., Reed Shepard, Amen Thompson, Capela, Ethan, Tate, Okogie, Aaron Holiday, Jeff Green). At this point, the Rockets' 14+3 lineup list has been confirmed! After signing Okogi, the Rockets have gathered 8 players in the new season, and the forward line is full.

2 Hidden dangers are not eliminated and are not worthy of winning the championship!

After getting the sweetness brought to himself by the front line last season, Uduka has become more and more intense in this offseason to increase the depth of the big front line, and supplement the lineup around the idea of "the deepest forward line + the strongest defense". The most terrifying thing is that the team also has a three-tower lineup in the inside lineup of Shin Kyung, Adams, and Capela. The strength of the entire frontcourt is unreasonable. Whether the "five-front line" lineup can lead the new trend of the league depends on what achievements the Rockets can achieve next season. Even if the Thunder and Nuggets see the current Rockets lineup, they have to spend enough effort to deal with it. Until now, the Rockets are undoubtedly the first-tier competitors of the championship, but are they really the strongest team in the new season?

Before Uduka joined the Rockets, the team's defensive efficiency was the last in the league. In his first season when Uduka came to this team, he improved the team's defensive efficiency to ninth in the league. Last season, he went further and went directly to the league's fourth place. The team became the root of the top teams in the league! Although he lost to the Warriors in the playoffs last season, the Rockets' defensive performance was historical. Curry bluntly stated that the series with the Rockets was the most physical confrontation he had encountered so far in his career! However, due to the lack of offensive level, I regret to stop in the first round!

Lost a Dillon forward player in the offseason and got three forward players, Durant, DFS, and Okoji. Uduka is to build the league's unique front line group. Among them, Okoji can defend from 1 to 4, making the Rockets' defensive elasticity better. The 14-player team will rotate in the league in a big rotation, and even the Thunder cannot compare. From the Pacers' success this season, we can clearly see that the ultimate goal of modern basketball is long rotation. The Rockets' lineup allows them to face the regular season, playoffs, and finals easily. Durant's arrival filled the team's biggest shortcoming last season. Under the existing system, the Rockets have a complete defensive system, insider shields, and defensive engineers. Durant's game content and workload are also relatively simple, which also helps him take over the offense and play relatively easily and efficiently.

We cannot deny that the Rockets have the strength to win the championship in the new season, but this team still has considerable hidden dangers! The main reason for the Rockets' poor offensive last season was their lack of positional offensiveness and insufficient three-point shooting ability. Last season, the Rockets averaged 12.7 three-point shooting averages of 12.7 three-point shooting percentage of 35.3% is also the 21st in the league! It is worth mentioning that the two major three-point output points were. Dillon and Jerling Green averaged a total of 35 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game last season, and hit 5.4 three-pointers! The two substitutes, Durant + DFS, averaged 34.5 points, 9.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game last season, and hit 4.5 three-pointers! Judging from the data, Durant and DFS's total score and total three-pointers are at a disadvantage, which is a big hidden danger. The most important thing is that Durant is already 37 years old. It is unknown whether he can support the Rockets' offense for the entire season. Once Durant is unable to play on the court, the team will fall into the dilemma of last season again!

In addition to lacking scoring ability last season, the Rockets actually lacked a qualified organizational substitute guard. Once VanVleet did not play, no one in this team could stand up to organize the offense. The Rockets did not solve this problem in the offseason. The team really should bet on Amen and Shepard to shoulder the heavy responsibility in the organizational end? In general, Durant is counted on the offensive end, and the organization bets on the growth of Amen and Shepard are two major hidden dangers for the Rockets in the new season. In short, the Rockets' offseason operation is amazing enough, but if these two major hidden dangers are not eliminated, they are not worthy of competing for the championship! What do you think about it, dear readers? Welcome to discuss!
