Veterans gathered, experts pointed out the Rockets hidden dangers! Although 37-year-old Durant is strong, he is not adapted to the new tactics

There are many teams in the reconstruction period that have been collecting draft picks and young players because they know that young players represent the future of a team and that draft picks are the most reasonable chance to win young players. The Rockets are now doing the opposite because the Rockets have collected too many draft picks and taken too many young players in the past three years, so in the past two years, the Rockets have been subtracting their young players lineup. In the past two years, the Rockets have cleared out many young players, such as Spanish power forward Garuba, outside double-seater Christopher, and point guard Taytai Washington Jr.

The Rockets also traded Whitmore and Jaylen Green directly this summer without hesitation. The remaining five young players are Shepard, Shin Kyung, Ethan, Smith Jr. and Amen Thompson. Among these five players, except Shepard, the other four have proved themselves in the regular season. Even Shepard is highly expected by the Rockets and is expected to make him Van Vreet's first substitute next season, taking charge of the Rockets' offense.

The Rockets are now collecting more veterans, because General Manager Stone understands that it is only in recent years that it has been in recent years to make good use of rookie dividends. In addition, Durant is older, and the next three years is the best window for the Rockets to win the championship. If it passes, the Rockets may not be able to win the championship again in the next few years.

And the Rockets have introduced too many veterans now, and several players signed this summer, such as Capela and Finney Smith, are all veterans over the age of 30. Durant is about to be 37 years old, and the Rockets have renewed their contracts with 31-year-old Van Vreet and 31-year-old Adams, and have left veterans Jeff Green, Tate and Aaron Holiday with three basic salary. So now the Rockets' veterans over 30 years old have really become crowded.

It is not good to have too many young players, and it is not good to have too many veterans. Some experts have pointed out the hidden dangers of the Rockets in the new season. ESPN expert Michael C. White posted a post to analyze the potential risks of the Rockets next season. He believes that although Durant's performance has not been a problem in recent years and his condition has not declined significantly, the Rockets superstar is about to be 37 years old. He has played 62 consecutive games or more in the past two years, which is also his first since the 2017-2018 season and 2018-2019 season.

The Rockets' style of playing next season will still be mainly defense and tough style. Every player needs to keep running, running and defending, so this will test the endurance and physical fitness of veteran Durant. In addition to Durant, we actually know that the Rockets now have too many veterans. In high-intensity games like the playoffs, can these veterans of the Rockets really fight continuously? Especially when they need to score and defend at critical moments, if these veterans have physical problems or even health problems are directly absent, the Houston Rockets will definitely suffer in the end.

So cleaning up too many young players can indeed make the Rockets more experienced, but the Rockets' physical fitness will be affected. The Rockets are no longer one of the youngest teams in the league. They are collecting veterans to compete for the championship, but this is also one of the main hidden dangers for the Rockets next season. Although 37-year-old Durant is powerful, is he really adapting to the new tactics of the Rockets' main defense and high-intensity confrontation? Obviously I'm not very adaptable.
