Staying at the team is hanging? The top 5 teams in the league compete for the Rockets center! Stone has little advantage and cannot keep him in a big contract

Basketball

In this league, there are many players who have won big contracts, especially some well-known veterans, who want to win an NBA championship at the end of their careers. After all, many players have never won an NBA championship ring in their entire career, such as Nash, Malone, Stockton, etc., who were all top superstars in the league, but they have never been able to get the championship in their entire career.

Even the current superstars like Paul and Harden have not won the championship, even Westbrook. At that time, many veterans joined some top teams for the championship. For example, David West of the Warriors said goodbye to the league after winning the championship - there was a big contract and a championship, and his career became very perfect.

There is also such a player among the Rockets, who is 31-year-old Adams. Although Adams doesn't look old, he has been fighting in the league for many years. Today, Adams is still an important part of the Rockets' inside line, but his annual salary of 12.6 million has expired this season and is now a complete free agent. The Rockets can keep him, but many teams have also taken a fancy to this veteran who performed very well in the playoffs.

According to Rockets' team reporter Kelly Ico, many teams want to compete for Adams. According to his understanding, teams in the five leagues, such as the Lakers, Clippers, Pacers, Knicks and San Antonio Spurs, all want Adams. After all, everyone knows that what the Lakers lack most is a good center. The Knicks, Pacers, Clippers and Spurs also need to find a useful substitute for their starting center. Veteran Adams, who has an annual salary of more than 10 million yuan, has become the best choice.

In the seven games between the playoffs and the Warriors, Adams played as a first-class defensive center. He can withstand pressure and score free throws at critical moments, and has a deep defensive attainment. Whether it is covering pick-and-roll or competing for frontcourt rebounds, Adams is very good at it. It seems that he has returned to his peak level in the playoffs. This is why the five teams in the league want to chase Adams.

The Rockets have no advantage over them. Rockets manager Raphael Stone has only one middle-class exception, and more importantly, the Rockets' performance in the playoffs this season is disappointing, and they lack the kind of superstars who can perform on the offensive end. If Adams stays with the Rockets again, then the Rockets may have no hope for winning the championship next season. The Lakers, Clippers, Knicks and Pacers all have the strength to compete for the championship, and if the Spurs can get Antetokounmpo, they can instantly become top-level teams and have hope of competing for the championship.

So, instead of being wasted time with the Rockets, Adams would seem to be a good choice to go to other teams if he wants to win the championship at the end of his career. Moreover, the contracts you can get when you go to other teams will probably be larger than those offered by the Rockets. A veteran like Adams is not just for a big contract, he wants to win the championship. Compared with the Rockets, these teams seem to have a greater advantage in winning the championship. After all, all of them have first-class star players in the league, and the Rockets are the only ones who can stand out. The Rockets have no advantage over them, so it is really a bit unlucky to stay with the team next season.
