Rocket City Edition jerseys released.
After several league teams announced their city jerseys for the new season, the Houston Rockets officially announced today that they have released their city jerseys for the new season. Different from the past, the main color of this city version of the jersey is blue, which is quite different from the red and white main color of the rocket jersey in the fans' impression.
Since China basketball superstar Yao Ming joined the Rockets, their jerseys have been selling well in China, and their main color is red. Even last season, the domestic media always called the Rockets "Red Team" because the general manager's name was Mo. This time, the Rockets set the main color of the city version of the new season as blue, which is really surprising.
The Houston Rockets and the Washington Wizards completed a heavy deal of 1 2. The Rockets traded Shao Wei for Wall and the first round signing. After the transaction broke out, the major media did not further explain the first round of signing for the Rockets.
According to chams, a well-known NBA reporter, the first round of transactions won by the Rockets is a protected one in the future, and its specific rule is lottery protection in 2023, otherwise it will be 12 before 2024, otherwise it will be 10 before 2025, or the top eight in 2026. If the first-round draft is not protected until 2026, then the first-round draft right will be broken down into two second-round drafts, which means that the highest first-round draft in 2026 can only be the ninth overall pick.
If the highest number can only be a No.9 draft, then the Shao Wei trade case completed by the Rockets and Thunder last year is undoubtedly a bloody one. You know, in order to get Shao Wei last offseason, the Rockets not only sent out all-star point guard Paul, but also got two first-round draft picks and a draft pick exchange qualification. Just one year later, Shao Wei has become a veritable negative asset, and the Rockets lost their wives and soldiers in this transaction.
Shao Wei still changed his jersey number.
So far, Shao Wei has been wearing the No.0 jersey in his career. Shao Wei is one of the representative stars of the No.0 jersey, whether in the Thunder period or in the 1 season for the Rockets. However, this time Shao Wei was traded to the Washington Wizards, and it is very likely that he will be forced to change his jersey number.
Why? Because the wizard and famous player Arenas is the owner of the No.0 jersey. As a well-known agent No.0, Arenas reached its peak in the Wizards' period, leading the team to the playoffs and fighting the Cavaliers led by James. However, because Arenas did not make substantial achievements for the Wizards, Arenas broke up with the Wizards in the end, and his No.0 jersey did not retire after Arenas retired.
Interestingly, however, after Arenas, the Wizards' No.0 jersey has been vacant. Because of arenas, few wizards dare to wear the No.0 jersey. Of course, this may be an unwritten rule of wizards. This time, Shao Wei was traded to the Wizards. If the Wizards' management refuses to send the No.0 jersey, Shao Wei will probably be forced to change the jersey number.
