5-choose 1? Experts give advice to the Rockets: 5 point guards can be chased to replace Van Jordan! Stone is afraid of asking for a price everywhere

It looks like Westbrook and Ben Simmons are not suitable for the Rockets. Because although Ben Simmons looks very healthy and lively in the offseason, he always plays and stops in the regular season and has a very low attendance rate. Rather than signing him, it is really better to reuse players like Shepard and Holiday.

For the Rockets, Westbrook is actually not a good choice, because Westbrook is prone to getting ahead when playing, his ball quotient is not high, and his physical fitness has declined severely with his age. It is difficult for 36-year-old Westbrook to return to his peak. No team is willing to sign him this offseason, which is the best proof. So, if the Rockets want to find a new point guard to replace Van Villet, they must wait until December, and it is better for many players to trade before trading. So is there any suitable point guards for the Rockets to chase? There are actually

. There are many second-line point guards in the league that are worth chasing by the Rockets. Although their overall strength is far less than Van Vreett, if they can be signed, the depth of the Rockets' No. 1 position will be better. With the three players, Amen Thompson, Aaron Holiday and Shepard, the depth of the Rockets' No. 1 position will be enough next season. NBA celebrity Bill Simmons also called out to the Rockets in a show, and he believed that the Rockets should chase five point guards.

This famous guru gave the Rockets a suggestion, believing that the Rockets can chase the Celtics' best sixth man Prichard, Grizzlies' Pippen, Bulls' Dosum, Pelicans' Alvarado and Pacers' McConaughey. Although these five point guards are not particularly famous, they are all practical. If the Rockets can get one of them, they will immediately alleviate Van Vreet's urgent need for reimbursement of the season due to injury.

The Rockets are also in a very passive position because they no longer have salary space, and the Rockets can trade probably only core players such as Shin Kyung, Amen Thompson, Durant, Shepard, Smith Jr. and Ethan. None of them seems to be able to move.

Other players, such as Tate and Jeff Green who signed the basic salary, and Capela and Finney Smith, who just signed with the Rockets this summer, all need to wait until their contracts are unfreezed in December before they can be traded by the Rockets. Therefore, even if the Rockets want to trade one of these five recommended point guards, they must be patient and wait until December three months later to complete the so-called deal and chase a point guard to replace Van Vreet.

Therefore, at this stage, the Rockets can only reuse Shepard, Amen Thompson and Aaron Holiday. Although these five recommended point guards are indeed more suitable for the Rockets, it is almost impossible for the Rockets to trade now. Because the Rockets cannot take out their core players to trade point guards of these roles, their forward and inside positions will be seriously weakened. The Rockets' No. 1 position has indeed been strengthened, but it will become even more impossible to win the championship.

For Rockets general manager Stone, what he is afraid of is that everyone knows that the Rockets need point guards, and the seller will ask for a price everywhere, which is something the Rockets cannot accept. Now, the only solution is to wait patiently and see how Rockets' Shepard, Holiday and Amen Thompson will perform at the No. 1 position. By December, trades will be made if necessary, but if these three point guards do perform well in the No. 1 position, the Rockets can actually avoid trading, and reusing these self-owned point guards is enough.
