The Rockets hired Augustine for Durant, and the Pacers success inspired the Rockets!

Recently, local media in Houston revealed that the Rockets have hired former former player Augustine to join the team's management. Augustine's joining is not as simple as everyone thinks. After all, Augustine has never been engaged in NBA management since retired from the NBA, and the Rockets' move is for Durant. As Durant's childhood friend, Augustine can be said to have accompanied Durant's entire teenager. Durant has also expressed his hope to fight with Augustine one day in the future. Obviously, the Rockets have let Augustine join the team this time, and the intention of teasing Durant is obvious.

The Rockets' current team building direction has also been greatly inspired with the success of the Pacers this summer. In addition to Halliburton + Siakam's Gemini role, the most important thing for the Pacers' success this season is the outstanding three-point shooting ability and the blessing of coach Carlisle's team offensive system. Coach Carlisle can be said to maximize the team's advantages, and the advantages of each player on the bench are fully utilized. In fact, the Rockets and the Pacers have many similarities, the only difference is that the Rockets' star quality and poor shooting ability are facts that the Rockets urgently need to change during the offseason.

I believe that the Rockets will definitely draw inspiration from the Pacers in the offseason. In addition to finding ways to get the stars, their shooting ability must be supplemented. Shebold's reuse next season is a good start!
