The Celtics demolish the team and give a big gift! The Rockets have two more people chasing targets? 18+5 point guard can replace Van Vritte

At present, the Rockets have many players with their contracts expired, and players such as Aaron Holiday and Van Vreet are all in the team options. The Rockets can either keep them in the new season or refuse to execute their contracts. The Rockets' first goal for renewing their contract this summer is naturally their 31-year-old veteran center Adams. And Holiday and Van Vreet's performance in the season are actually good, so executing their team options to keep them seems to be a better choice.

However, although Van Vreet performed well in the playoffs, he could be said to be exhausted in the regular season. Whether it is shooting percentage or average score, the data are all new lows in recent years. If it weren't for the super-god performance in those games in the playoffs, the Rockets would probably find it difficult to implement Van Vreet's team option of up to 44.89 million in the last year. In fact, the Rockets are also hesitating whether to implement his team options.

So, the Rockets management has reached an agreement with Van Vritte to decide whether to implement his third-year team option by the end of June. In fact, everyone can see that this is the delaying strategy of the Rockets management. If a point guard who is more suitable than Van Vritte can be found during the period, the Rockets may not necessarily keep Van Vritte; of course, if the Rockets cannot get such a point guard, it should be a high probability that Van Vritte will be left behind.

According to previous reports, the Eastern Conference Powerhouse and defending champion Celtics intend to break up after the end of this season. After all, this team has no salary space, and their super luxury lineup requires a lot of luxury taxes, which is simply unbearable for the management of the Celtics. So, regardless of the record, the Celtics’ main task is to streamline the lineup this summer.

Tatum is now reimbursed for the season, and he is the top superstar in the league, so it is unlikely to be traded. However, other players, such as Jaylen Brown, Derek White, Porzingis, Ju Holiday, etc., seem to be all objects that can be cleaned up. After all, the Celtics have won the championship last season, so saving money is their main task next season. This gave the Rockets a big gift and brought more opportunities.

Because the Celtics intend to dismantle the team, there are many star players worth chasing the Rockets. For example, Jaylen Brown, the second in command of the Celtics, is very suitable for the Rockets system. In fact, 30-year-old starting point guard Derek White seems to be more suitable for the Rockets' lineup. We know that although White is not that superstar, he has the ability to be at the All-Star level and his strength has always been underestimated, especially in a super luxurious lineup like the Celtics. White seems to be just a role player, but he is one of the best dual-athlete defenders in the entire NBA league. In the playoffs this season, White averaged 18.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 37.3%. In addition, he has 0.7 steals and 1 block per game, which can be said to be a very comprehensive player. The age of 30 is in the prime of a player's career.

If the Celtics plan to break up the team and sell it, then apart from Jaylen Brown, getting Derek White is the best choice for the Rockets. After all, the Rockets need a defender who can attack and defend and pass the ball to replace Van Vreet. Compared to Jaylen Brown, who needs to pay a lot of money to catch up, the Rockets will turn to White to pursue. If White can be obtained, the Rockets don’t need to retain Van Fret anymore. Let White be the main attacker of the Rockets next season, which should be the best choice. Of course, if the Rockets can get Jaylen Brown, it will also be helpful to improve the team's overall strength.
