Main controller is reimbursed! Rockets new point guard chooses 1 in 2? The 36-year-old star may be the first choice, Stone can sign him to save the field

The Rockets encountered a bolt from the blue today. This summer they had star players such as Durant, Finney Smith and Capela. Many people think that the Rockets will become the team to compete for the championship next season. However, the Rockets' main point guard Van Vreeter's torn ACL, resulting in a season reimbursement, which directly poured a basin of cold water on Uduka's head. It has become very difficult for the Rockets to win the championship next season.

Even if he signs a new point guard, his strength will definitely be inferior to Van Vreett. After all, the Rockets' salary space has basically been exhausted. Even if he signs or trades a point guard, the Rockets still need to sacrifice other positions in exchange for the depth of the No. 1 position. In addition, the Rockets lack salary space and may sign at most a basic point guard. The strength of the basic point guard can be imagined.

In fact, many expert media have given the Rockets advice, suggesting that they can choose one of the two star point guards after the season is reimbursed. One is 29-year-old Ben Simmons. When he was playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, Ben Simmons was an All-Star point guard. He was tall, able to break through, pass the ball, and had first-class defense and rebounding, but he lacked the ability to shoot three-pointers, which is his biggest problem and weakness.

The other is 36-year-old veteran Westbrook. He performed solo performances many times when he played for the Nuggets last season. Now he has become a free agent and has not found his next home so far. If he can become a Rockets player, Westbrook is likely to become Uduka's main point guard next season. After all, 5 years ago, Westbrook played for the Rockets for a season, but that season he and Harden's Rockets were easily eliminated by the Lakers in the second round of the playoffs. Westbrook also took the initiative to ask the Rockets to trade him to the Wizards, which cut off his fate with the Rockets.

In fact, there are probably only two star point guards that are available and easy to use in the free agent market. The other free-point guards are either too expensive or have poor strength. Therefore, Simmons and Westbrook seem to be the two most ideal choices for the Rockets. The 36-year-old star Westbrook was a triple-double king back then. He also had experience as the Rockets. Compared to Ben Simmons, Westbrook has a higher attendance rate, he is also more solid, and his three-point shooting rate seems to be better.

If Westbrook can be signed and he can join forces with former Thunder players such as Adams, Durant, and Jeff Green, then the Rockets can be completely transformed into the "Thunder Second Team". Manager Stone can sign Westbrook to save the game. I believe that a basic salary can sign the 36-year-old star veteran.

However, the premise is that the Rockets are actually insufficient in salary space. They are more than 1.2 million US dollars away from the first tyrant line. If they sign Westbrook, it will inevitably trigger more luxury taxes. Therefore, if they want to sign Westbrook, the Rockets must clear up some salary space so that they can sign Westbrook as they wish.

The Rockets now have no competitors when they signed, otherwise Westbrook would not have waited until now but still failed to find the team. The Rockets need a point guard to respond, while Westbrook needs to start the new season with a team. Both sides will get what they need. Can they hit it off? Let's wait and see if they can change.
