Durant is just the beginning, the Rockets sign a super scorer again, joining the 44-pointer in a single game

In the offseason basketball transfer wave, the Houston Rockets stood out among many teams with a Durant deal, and were the biggest winner in the offseason. This transaction is a masterpiece. The Rockets accurately filled the team's biggest shortcomings, and did not let any top star outflow, nor did they sacrifice high-quality draft assets with great potential in the future, and reaped huge profits at a very small price. The

Rockets' ambitions go far beyond that. They continue to show outstanding strategies and vision in the subsequent signing market. With a generous four-year contract of 53 million, Finney Smith was brought into his arms; with a sincere invitation of 21.5 million for three years, Capela was welcomed back. The team-friendly contract reached with Van Vritte not only reflects the team's long-term plan, but also takes into account the rationality of the salary structure. At the same time, the contract renewal with Jabbarry Smith Jr. has consolidated the team's future core. In addition, the stay of powerful players such as Tate, Aaron Holiday and Jeff Green further enriched the team's talent pool and made the lineup deeper.

After a series of careful layouts, the Rockets have successfully built a super team with strong strength and diverse styles. This team has an amazing lineup, flexible and varied tactics, and has the ability to defeat opponents from all levels. The impeccable defense, invincible rebounding, tall and burly body, tenacious confrontation, vigorous vitality, rich experience, and Durant's unsolvable scoring talent as bright as a meteor, made his opponent shudder when facing them.

Now, the Rockets and the Thunder are in a fierce battle for the "League Lineup Depth King". The Rockets, who have already risen to be the second strongest team in the West, are launching a fearless attitude towards the Western Conference champion, becoming the biggest obstacle to the Thunder’s reproduction of the 2017-18 season with Du Warriors’ brilliant defense.

However, even if this team is so dazzling, it is not perfect. The Rockets currently have an obvious hidden concern, and the lack of depth in the back line has become the team's weakness. This makes the team have to rely too much on Van Vreet, who is 31 years old and has passed his peak in the game. This is very likely to be a fatal flaw to be caught by the opponent in the long season and cruel playoffs.

Because of this, Rockets General Manager Stone's operation has not stopped. Recently, TA reporter Kelly Iko brought a very impactful revelation. According to reliable sources, after successfully attracting Smith and Capela, the Houston Rockets have set their sights firmly on Grimes and are ready to go all out to start the chase.

Grimes' scoring skills are diverse and perfect. When he was in the mid-range jump shot, his movements were smooth and he made decisive moves. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and entered the net accurately. When he shot from the three-point line, his eyes were firm, he pulled up his shot without hesitation, and often entered the net. When he broke through to the inside strong attack, he could cleverly avoid the opponent's defense with his outstanding physical fitness and flexible footsteps and complete the score toughly. It is not difficult to imagine that if Grimes could join the Rockets, he would definitely become a crucial and irreplaceable key role in the team's lineup and inject strong momentum into the team's offensive firepower.
