Rockets three targets for signing up to emerge! The outside passes and shots are the first choice, the inside continues its advantage, and the salary is tight

After the Rockets were eliminated by the Golden State Warriors' playoffs, some media asked what type of players the Rockets coach Uduka Rockets need? Coach Uduka also bluntly stated that the Rockets now need a stable three-pointer first and a stable free thrower second. After all, these two shortcomings are reflected by the Rockets in the playoffs. The Rockets did not shoot high in the playoffs with three-point shooting percentage, while their free throw percentage was even lower. If the Rockets' outside players can make more three-pointers or increase their free throw shooting percentage, it will definitely not be the turn of the Warriors to advance in the end.

So, the Rockets' defensive intensity in the playoffs reached 100%, and they also have huge advantages in confrontation. After all, the Rockets' players are much larger than the players in the same position of the Warriors. But the Rockets still lost in terms of shooting: they didn't make any shots from the outside and didn't have many players with accurate mid-range distances. Even the simplest scoring method of free throws, the Rockets' free throw shooting percentage is only 60% or less. Therefore, the Rockets have to introduce some outside shooters or players with more accurate free throws, which is the first choice for the Rockets to sign in the offseason this year.

In addition, in the regular season, the Rockets need a point guard who can hold the ball as a substitute. Veteran Aaron Holiday is proficient in shooting, but is not good at passing and organizing offense; Amen Thompson appears more in power forward position and has no time to take care of the No. 1 position; Shepard is too young to adapt to the strength of the NBA. So, introducing a point guard has become another target this summer.

The ability to pass and shoot from the outside is the first choice for the Rockets to strengthen this summer. Of course, the inside must also need a basket protector. Many people believe that Adams will eventually play in other teams and will not renew his contract with the Rockets. There are even some simulation deals that the Rockets should chase the Nets' Clarkston and use him to replace Adams; there are also some suggestions that the Rockets should use the No. 10 draw to take Duke University's rookie center Maruach to become Adams' replacement.

Therefore, the three goals of the Rockets' signings for the offseason this year have emerged: in addition to the outside shooter, a substitute guard is also needed, and in the inside, a rim protector is also needed to continue the advantage of the inside. After all, the Rockets' best performance this season is the inside. Whether it is Adams or Shin Kyung, they are all star centers in the league. Next season, the Rockets should continue the advantage of the inside.

Especially when facing the Warriors, the Rockets will definitely not be able to shoot from the outside, and the scoring in the inside is extremely important at this time. So, introducing a better center to strengthen the No. 5 position may be the best choice.

However, the Rockets' salary is relatively tight this offseason, because the Rockets need to execute Van Vreet's contract and also need to execute a new contract with a total annual salary of 70 million from Shin Kyung and Jaylen Green. The Rockets theoretically have only one mini middle class available this summer, and it is obviously a bit tight to introduce three types of players. However, if the Rockets can clear out some contracts, such as letting Jeff Green and Tate go, and laying off Langdale, then the Rockets' salary space will have room for turnaround.
