If the Rockets lose the 31-year-old tower, the new two towers will not be weak! The offense is strong and the defense is weak, and the long shot ability is greatly improved

Excellent inside players have become a hot spot in the free agent market this summer's offseason. Teams like the Lakers that need centers will definitely introduce centers to significantly improve the strength of the inside. After all, as long as the Lakers introduce a good center, coupled with their three-piece combination of James, Doncic and Reeves, the Lakers will still have a chance to compete for the championship next season.

And for the Rockets, they now have a lot of centers. Currently, the Rockets' centers include Shin Kyung, Adams, Langdale and Dante, and many inside players can play guest centers. Therefore, on the one hand, the Rockets need to streamline the inside line and free up more salary space to introduce players from other positions; on the other hand, the Rockets may not be able to keep Adams whose contract expires. 31-year-old Gota Adams, whose two-year contract has been executed, will become a free agent. He can choose to stay with the Rockets or choose to go to other teams, such as the Warriors who need center or the Los Angeles Lakers.

Once the Rockets cannot keep Adams, there is actually a remedial plan for the Rockets. Shin Kyung will start his new contract next season, and the Rockets actually have some reserves in the center position. In addition to the Rockets who should keep Enfalee Dante, who performed well in the regular season this season, they should also keep Landale, 29-year-old Australian center Landale, has actually always been one of the most underrated centers in the league.

In the Suns' playoffs that year, he performed even better than starting center Ayton. And for the Rockets two seasons, Langdale has also become the best substitute in the interior. He is not only Shin Kyung's first substitute, but also can support the No. 5 position when veteran Adams is injured and absent.

This season, Landale averaged nearly 5 points per game, and had 3.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists. The most eye-catching thing is his shooting percentage, with a shooting percentage of up to 53.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of up to 42.3%. He is one of the Rockets' best centers at shooting, and his shooting ability is far better than the double tower combination of Adams and Shin Kyung. However, in the playoffs, Rockets coach Uduka did not give Landal too many opportunities, and he has been put on the bench.

If the Rockets' Adams is poached by other teams, then the Rockets can form a brand new double tower with Shin Kyung as the center and Langdale as the power forward. Such double towers are not weak. Although the Rockets' new twin towers have huge shortcomings on the defensive end compared to the traditional twin towers composed of Shin Kyung and Adams, their offensive ability will be infinitely developed.

Landal is a big shot who can pull to mid-range and long-range shots. The 3-point shooting percentage of up to 42% this season is the best proof. Shin Kyung also has a certain ability to shoot three-pointers, but he focuses more on scoring at the basket. If Langdale can pull to the outside to open up the basket space for Shin Kyung, then the Rockets' Shin Kyung's defense will not be that strong at the basket.

Although the Rockets' ability to protect the rim will decline, the Rockets' offensive ability, especially their long-range shot ability, will also be greatly improved with Langdale's rise. If the Rockets can't keep Adams, then letting Shin Kyung and Langdale play together next season seems to be a tactical mode that can be chosen.
