The rocket is in a delicate situation and has embarked on the road of reconstruction to a certain extent. The rocket is also quite helpless. After all, the team has suffered too many injuries recently. According to the latest injuries released by the rocket official, there are still players with insufficient injuries. Cousins' right heel hurts, maybe 50%. Oladipo pulled his right foot, maybe 25% in the battle. Tucker's left quadriceps is bruised, which may account for 75%. Wood and Ike Sam are injured. Rockets have many injuries, which also affect the formation and record of the team. In fact, even if the Rockets are healthy, they are unlikely to enter the playoffs. Second, the basket net made a lot of money. Many times, after a transaction is completed, we have to observe for a period of time to judge whether it is a loss or a profit. At the beginning of the Nets season, Qi Chest and Harden joined the team successively, and now they seem to have made a lot of money. After joining the Nets, Harden took the initiative to make sacrifices, gave the ball to Owen and others, and became a point guard himself. There is a statistic that is also very interesting. He started a new career with the Nets.
Before the Clippers, Harden played 17 games for the Nets, averaging 24.2 points, 8.2 rebounds 1 1.7 assists, shooting 50%, 40.8% and 90.2%, setting a career high. The rocket finally went crazy again. The Rockets finally got four draft picks and traded Paul to Thunder and Shao Wei. In this transaction, rocket fans went crazy. They gave Paul and two draft picks in 2024 and 2026 and exchanged draft picks in 202 1 and 2025. The two MVPs have joined hands to make the Rockets full of hope next season, and Thunder has also accumulated eight starters and three starter exchange rights, with a maximum of 1 1. Rockets pay four draft picks to lose money? In exchange for Paul Shao Wei, the boss Morey became the final winner. Did the Rockets lose four draft picks? First of all, in this transaction, the two first-round contracts won by Thunder were priceless, but they were not insured. These two draft picks are protected by 1-4 draft picks. According to Shao Wei and Harden's remaining contracts and more than four years of competitive status, the Rockets will completely withdraw from the championship in the 2022-2023 season. At that time, the rocket had two choices. In short, the Rockets won the championship with four draft picks in Shao Wei.
If Harden+Shao Wei's brother basketball team is not successful, they will dissolve Harden Shao Wei's team after three years. Rockets quickly choose to rebuild and smash, and get the draft pick of 1-4. Then the rockets also hope to get back the draft pick they gave to Thunder. Both Morey and Presty have done good calculations, but the Rockets are obviously the bigger winners. Even if Harden and Shao Wei's brother basketball teams fail to win the championship three years later, the Rockets can still choose to trade these two MVPs, and the Rockets may gain as much as this year's Thunder. Although 33-year-old Harden Shao Wei and 34-year-old Harden can't win the championship together, the Rockets can easily exchange these two leading stars for two or three first-round signings. At that time, Paul could exchange 1 for 7, and Harden certainly could. As for the future of the rocket, it is never too late to consider the reconstruction within three years. I'm telling you this now, so that rocket fans can have a reassurance and don't have to worry about these four distant draft champions! The rockets are not losing money now, and they will not be short of these four first-round signings in the future.
