Hello!
The total number of transactions between the Rockets and Thunder involves six people, namely: Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, James Harden, Daquan Cook, Cole Aldridge, Lazar Hayward.
There is no doubt that Kevin Martin is an excellent scorer. He has averaged 2 points per game in many seasons, and his scoring efficiency is very high. He has a strong ability to draw fouls, but his defensive ability Relatively weak, not strong in physical confrontation, and now 29 years old. For the Rockets, losing Martin is a breakup for the chief executive, and it is also a valuable experience and wealth of an NBA veteran. For the Thunder, it is for Supplementing Harden's departure.
Jeremy Lamb is the rookie selected by the Rockets with the 12th pick in the first round this season. I think the Rockets are very optimistic about his potential. Some people say that Lamb may be the second Martin. This view It's quite reliable. After all, they have too many similarities. They have similar physical fitness and similar playing styles. They like to draw fouls, like breakthroughs, and like to shoot. There are too many similarities, and the Rockets don't want to lose him. , but had to give up for Harden. Lamb, who has proven his potential, may not be of much use to the Rockets, but for the Thunder, he has another talent to create.
James Harden, the protagonist of this deal, the best sixth man, one of the Olympic men's basketball champions, a 23-year-old young man who has played in the finals, obviously the 23-year-old Harden has proven For himself, Harden is slowly growing every season, and his statistics are getting better year by year. He is indeed a better shooting guard, and he is not inferior to Kevin in terms of breakthroughs and shooting. Martin, what is commendable is that his ability to control the game is much better than Martin. His organizational skills are also good. He is an all-around shooting guard. Many fans consider him to be the next "Little Eddie" in Houston. I also believe that he also has this ability, otherwise Morey would not have dug him out at all costs. For the Rockets, they have found the core of the future team building. For the Thunder, they are missing a more capable shooting guard and have less confidence to compete for the championship.
There are three other players who only played a supplementary role in this transaction. Their departure will not have a big impact on the Thunder's strength, nor will it have much effect on the Rockets' strength. To put it simply:
Daquel Cook entered the NBA in 2007. His characteristic is that he has a good three-point shot. His best performance was when he was with the Heat for one season. He also averaged 9.1 points per game.
As for Cole Aldridge and Lazar Hayward, they both entered the NBA in 2010, but they did not get many performance opportunities, so they did not achieve any results. They played center and small forward respectively. location.
Since I am a Rockets fan, I don’t know much about the three of them. hey-hey. Please forgive me for any shortcomings!
We hope to adopt it, thank you!
