Should the Rockets send the No. 10 picks away? Too many rookies may cause conflicts, so they seek to win the championship with zero exchanges

Losing to the Warriors in the first round was a thunderous defeat to the Black Seven, which made the Rockets, which was originally full of expectations, a little overshadowed. If the Rockets maintain the current lineup framework, especially young players continue to grow, it will be no problem to become a permanent playoff team, but it seems unlikely if they want to enter the championship ranks.

Local media expressed their opinions, believing that the Rockets should send away the No. 10 picks and listed as many as five reasons. Including if there are too many rookie players, it may cause conflicts within the team. In addition, actively seeking zero-change methods can allow the Rockets to go all out to compete for the championship.

We can put together the first two points. The Rockets already have many young players. Jaylen Green and Alperen Shin-kyung have just ended their rookie contracts, but many people are facing the issue of renewal, especially last season, when Cam Whitmore's position was marginalized because of the crisis, because they felt the crisis and had friction with the team, which directly led to a sharp drop in playing time and a sharp decline in performance. At the same time, the Rockets have a good lineup, but there are only a few players who can be rotated. Last year, Reed Shepard, who has been sitting on the bench for a long time, expects the No. 10 pick player to squeeze out the Rockets' other players as soon as they enter the league and enter the main rotation lineup. The possibility is not very high, and the Rockets don't have time to train the rough for a long time.

Although thirdly, as a draft year, the players' strength and level have great uncertainty since the fifth pick. The Rockets happened to get the No. 10 pick, so the probability of picking the parallel goods is not too small. In addition, any Rockets rumored object may need to use this No. 10 pick to get it. Instead of blindly adding potential stocks but may waste talents and waste combat power, it is better to send some of the players and draft picks to do more meaningful things.

Finally, looking at the entire league history, it is extremely difficult to win the championship without superstars. Especially after entering the 21st century, the Detroit Pistons may only be able to do this in 2004, but the Pistons have all the all-star skills as the first five Tigers. Another example is the San Antonio Spurs in 2014, but the GDP combination was still a bit hot at that time, and Kawhi Leonard grew at a rapid pace. The overall quality of these two teams is now impossible to compare. So if you want to truly become a champion competitor in the near future, the Rockets will use part of their future assets in exchange for cornerstone strength or potential stars, just like when James Harden was replaced.
