8 for 1 to dig up super giants, what the Rockets lack to make up for? Famous mouth recognizes Stone s trade: He can easily score 27 points

Some media believe that the Houston Rockets' signing operation this summer is the best among the league's 30 teams, but this is true. The Rockets made a super shocking deal this summer, exchanging 8 chips for Durant. The so-called 8 chips include a first-round pick and five second-round picks for center Maruach, plus two Rockets' strong players Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks. Both of them were the Rockets' second contributor to the West last season. The Rockets had to give up their love for the future with Durant.

In fact, the Rockets did not want to complete such a deal at the time, but they couldn't resist Coach Uduka had been emphasizing to the Rockets management that he wanted Durant. In the end, Manager Stone had to satisfy Coach Uduka and used 8 chips to dig up super forward Durant from the Suns and supplemented the team's lineup. In addition, the arrival of three new players from the Rockets, Okogi, Capela and Finney Smith, can also help the team improve their shooting and defensive abilities, so we won't go into it here.

So what is the outside world's opinion on the Rockets getting Durant? We noticed that in recent days, NBA famous A Smith talked about Durant in a show. Although Durant is about to be 37 years old, A. Smith still believes that Durant is a top player. Because in A. Smith's opinion, Durant is a good guy, he is also one of the greatest players in basketball history, and Durant is as simple as drinking water when it comes to scoring. Although sometimes his words are a little pissy, and sometimes Durant is a little emotional, it doesn't matter.

A. Smith said that the situation is that the Rockets are ready, and Van Vreet is still in the team and has signed a new contract; Smith Jr. and Amen Thompson are also in the team's lineup. What they lack now is a real team leader, that is, the team boss, a finisher who can score at critical moments. As everyone knows, Durant can average 27 points with his eyes closed, which is exactly what the Rockets need. If the Rockets can get such a stable performance from Durant, A. Smith believes that the Rockets have a full chance to become one of the strong contenders for the championship next season.

It can be said that the Rockets really lacked what they lacked and lacked stable firepower output last season, so this summer, the first move of the Rockets was to dig up superstar Durant. Even A. Smith believes that he can easily average 27 points, and his scoring ability is as simple as drinking water.

The Rockets are still improving their defense next season. With the assistance of Capela, Finney Smith and Okogie, the Rockets' defensive ability has become stronger. Therefore, famous A. Smith highly recognizes these transactions made by Rockets general manager Raphael Stone this summer, and the Rockets also benefited from it.
