Averaged 3.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game! Dare to refuse a 100 million contract, Felton talked about Ethan, the Rockets have given him enough respect

The Rockets lost their first two games in a row, which was unexpected after the introduction of Durant in the offseason. I really didn't expect that Van Jordan's season reimbursement would have such a big impact on the Rockets. The team had 15 pick-and-roll starters last season, and this season only one Shen Jingfa and stand-up singles are left. The teams that have yet to win their first victory are the Rockets, Pelicans, Celtics and Pacers Nets. The Mavericks won their first victory today. Currently, these are the only five teams in the league that have not won yet.

You can't say that Durant doesn't try his best. He averaged 30 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.5 steals in the first 2 games, but there is no way. Not having a point guard is a weakness. Maybe even Durant himself didn't expect that joining the Rockets would lack a point guard like the Suns. This is really a curse. Moreover, the Rockets' five major offenses of death are too cumbersome and easy to be penetrated by outside shots. The Rockets' next five opponents are the Nets, Raptors, Celtics, Mavericks and Grizzlies. Among them, the Raptors and Nets are the ones the Rockets must win. If they can't win, they will really be doomed.

What is even more fatal is that it is difficult enough for the Rockets lineup to run without an engine, and then there is a rookie who refuses to try his best. He is Ethan. Ethan has been in a haze and has no energy at all since the start. The Rockets secured the contract extensions of Shen Jing, Durant and Smith during the offseason, but only Ethan is left. He rejected the Rockets' 100 million contract offer and wanted more money and court drama. But it is a pity that Ethan lost his value in the two games of the regular season. He averaged 25 minutes per game, which was not a lot. He only scored 3.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2.5 turnovers. His shooting percentage was only 27.3%, including 20% ​​from three-pointers.

Based on Ethan's opening performance, fortunately the Rockets did not give him 100 million US dollars. Even 100 million US dollars in 5 years is not cost-effective. Meiji previously reported that the Rockets may give Ethan a four-year, partially non-guaranteed contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which may include attendance requirements as an incentive. After all, Ethan is too brittle, and he continues to not play in back-to-back games this season. With such physical fitness, and increasingly poor performance on both offense and defense, do you still have the confidence to become a restricted free agent in 26 years and pursue a big contract? Ethan also really took the gamble.

Today, former NBA players found it difficult to understand Ethan on the "To The Baha" program. He said that the Rockets' offer was very sincere. For 100 million U.S. dollars, even if part of it was not guaranteed, didn't Ethan have the confidence to get it?

Felton said: "That's 100 million. Let's not ignore the fact that Texas also has a tax advantage. Look who signed for 100 million? Daniels of the Eagles just signed, but he is the second best defensive player of the year. Who are you Ethan? I think The Rockets offered sincerity, but he refused, and he will regret it. "

Daniels was known for his defense in the Hawks last season. In his third year, he averaged 3 steals per game, which can be called a death spiral. He was also selected to the All-Defensive Team and led the league in steals. If we talk about defensive ability, Ethan can't even lift Daniels' shoes. He was the league's No. 1 perimeter defender last season. This is well-deserved. If we look at last season's honors, Amen can't compare to them. But Daniels earned 100 million in 4 years by relying on defense, what about Ethan? In what way is he better than Daniels?

This may be the most generous offer Ethan has ever received in his life. After all, he is 24 years old and Daniels is only 22 years old. Moreover, the two are rookies in the same class. Why did we once think that Ethan was the younger version of Leonard? It's because the physical hardware of Ethan and Kazi are so similar, from height to wingspan to big hands. But Ethan has not yet developed Leonard's ability to take the ball in isolation, and his defensive influence is not good, especially in high-end games. Then Ethan got Leonard's disease again. He was so good that he stopped playing back-to-back due to old age and injuries. Ethan was only 23 years old and stopped playing back-to-back.
