Lillard assists Durant? Rockets point guard chooses 1 in 3, involving Ben Simmons and Paul?
If Lillard chooses to join the Rockets with a minimum salary and joins Durant, will the new season usher in the finale in advance? The conjecture given by the US media ESPN is not groundless. As one of the 75 superstars in history, Lillard is eager to win a championship ring at the end of his career, thereby dispelling all parties' doubts about him. But Director Li doesn't want to play the role of making soy sauce, which will affect his reputation and reputation. Looking at the entire league, most teams that can compete for the championship have All-Star backcourts, including Alexander, Lakers, Doncic, Warriors, Murray, Cavaliers, Mitchell, Clippers, Harden, Grizzlies, Brunson, Knicks, Irving, Only Rockets' starting point guard Van Vleet, slightly less role and fame, and Uduka's team got Durant, Electric Fan, and Capela, became the favorites in the championship. These are all factors that attract Lillard to join.
It is hard to imagine what kind of combat effectiveness the combination of Durant + Shinkyung + Lillard + Amen Thompson + Jabbarri Smith Jr. can burst out. It will be difficult for the Thunder to achieve the title defense. But in an interview, Coach Li said that he is not in a hurry to make a decision because he is still in the recovery period of Achilles tendon injury and is expected to return until the end of the regular season, so Lillard has plenty of time to inspect and hope to get his team. Because he has a close relationship with Durant, as long as Adu opens up his recruitment, Lillard still has a high possibility of joining the Rockets. In addition, Li Guidance also hopes to win a satisfactory contract next summer with its outstanding performance. So next season he doesn't care about the annual salary, but whether he can get enough opportunities to perform and launch an attack on the championship.
Rockets general manager Raphael Stone has significantly enhanced its overall lineup after a series of operations this summer, but there are still hidden concerns in the staffing of the point guard position. The starting point guard Van Vleet's poor shooting feel lasted for a season, which is also the reason why he chose to cut his salary significantly; it is still unclear whether Shepard can grab the power of the shift, and third point guard Aaron Holiday cannot count on it, because he is a target for each team to open a breakthrough. Therefore, General Manager Raphael Stone cannot put the hope of strengthening completely on Lillard. There are many excellent organizers in the free market. Chris Paul, Brogdon, Westbrook, Ben Simmons, Lowry, Seth Curry, Delan Wright, Melton, and Payton Jr. are all players who can accept basic salary joining.
Rockets' two substitute centers Adams and Capela are both blue-collar insiders and have limited scoring methods, which requires a organizer with outstanding passing ability to deliver shells to them. There is no doubt that Chris Paul is the best candidate. He is one of the best pass point guards in the league today, and has been a teammate with Capela for many years, familiar with the opponent's playing style and technical characteristics. But Paul hopes to get the starting position, and the Rockets will find it difficult to meet his needs. Another qualified candidate is Ben Simmons, who has a height of 2.11 meters. If he replaces Van Jordan, the Rockets will be played with five players over 2 meters at the same time. At that time, both the protection of the small penalty area and the competition for rebounds will reach a higher level.
